have read in Aviation News that CWL have published their master plan that shows they are expecting 5 million pax by 2012,so it is understandable that Thomson will expand as time goes by. however here at BRS we are at 5 million pax now ! and FCA have put their toes into the water and decided to launch l/h operations next year, and if stories are correct, then not only are they starting the season early but due to popularity of bookings, are also looking at other destinations. So fair play to FCA -keep them coming, they have found the market is here and look set to reap the rewards.

So if Thomsons are happy at Cwl and want no part of l/h operations at Brs then let it be, more for FCA.

just one other point, where are they going to park these expansion a/c, What is CWL- 17 STANDS, BRS- 28 STANDS, with more on the way for next summer
