CWL doesn't exactly seem a luxury airport, and I'm guessing there are only so many pennies remaining to be pinched.
It'll be a completely new can of worms if the airport has to beg the Welsh Assembly on a regular basis for cash to keep itself running
Other regional airports such as EXT, BOH etc seem to survive with their FR deals but who knows. I believe CWL would have been a base over BRS if it was not for that fallout many years ago. That really peeved FR and saw them leave. They’ve gradually returned which is good but could offer Airport so much more.
Surely enticing in FR would be better than just a daily EDI & BHD flight in the winter ??? Just drives me mad that other regional airports are “coping” (who know under what deals) yet CWL can only secure a x2 weekly to BFS !!!
