Qatar have 16 A350s reactivated and 14 left to go, 3 of which are in the process of being tested for their return. From what I read it was the return of these aircraft that would see more Dreamliners free to operate on smaller PAX routes. I wonder how long it will be before they announce the return of Cardiff. If it’s due to return by the end of the year they will want to make the most of the festive season sales. Although they have announced routes that are due to start back in March 2024 so perhaps we will be waiting a little longer. I just hope they get a decent head start on Emirates if they announce Bristol - although they will be in waiting a while for their new aircraft deliveries.
