Shame CWL cannot entice Flybe back as CDG & also JER would be perfect for them.
The leisure and business / connecting markets could be viewed as different. Vueling probably failed on the ORY route because too may people were paying too little, and not enough PAX booking at short notice and paying a premium for doing so. CDG may well work better from a connecting standpoint, and is better known in UK for being the principal Paris airport so better for the business market too. Frequency then becomes key, as does an interline agreement with AF. Whether CWL could have the demand to offer multi-daily services, and whether AF would offer code share when the AF/KL group are seemingly concentrating their efforts on the AMS hub from CWL are another questions.
