FlyBE annouce CWL!
From May next year FlyBe will commence operations twice daily from CWL to Belfast Harbour, with further expansion planned - see below.
Mike Rutter, Chief Commercial Officer, Flybe comments: "The announcement of a new hub at Cardiff is another string to Flybe's bow. Beginning operations from this key base is a major move for us as we continue to expand across the UK, bringing our low cost, high quality service to Wales for the first time."
"With the recent announcement of the proposed acquisition of BA Connect these are exciting times for Flybe as we grow to become Europe's largest regional carrier. Cardiff Airport has massive potential for growth and we are already looking at options for further new routes to be introduced early next year so watch this space!"
Jon Horne, Managing Director at Cardiff International Airport comments: "We're always looking to bring increased choice to travellers in and around Cardiff so we are delighted to welcome Flybe as a new carrier to our fast-growing airport. Flybe's establishment at Cardiff is also of strategic importance to the Welsh economy and businesses."
