EK new market CWL ?

When will EK consider CWL?

I agree with Dragon Tracker. This market must surely be something worth considereing.

The amount of sailors we have travelling from Wales to Manila is immense.
As we can't always get seats on KLM and our some of the travel agents we use only send our staff via London with an average drive between 4 and 5 hours. From London we land up using CX / MH and SQ.

EK would be an ideal airline for this.

The 5 industrial harbours in Wales provide us with very good business in the shipping industry and this new LNG project link to Qatar with up to 10 large LNG vessles sailing regularly between Doha and Wales from Next year will continue to increase this volume.

In addition, Is is not also true that the new British MOD academy will be in Wales? This will also generate large business traffic.

Plus don't forget all us Oz boys with Welsh roots. I would be there regularly to see my family and I know there are plenty of the Welsh boys in Dubai who regularly use BA to LHR get back to Wales.

Come on EK, must be a better option than LUX
