This'll be their next base. Also plans afoot to launch longhaul next year from Newcastle and Cardiff. Should be interesting.
Where did you hear this? I read an article mentioning some more long-haul routes from NCL/CWL etc, but when i emailed asking about it the reply was along the lines of 'We have no plans in the near future to launch services from Cardiff'
If they do, i cant see them launching an SFB from CWL as its already operated through the summer by Monarch(A330) Thomson (763) and Travel City-Excel (743)
