Yeap Aer Lingus are selling DUB-CWL and CWL-DUB flights in March for the Six Nations, x3 A330 and x1 A321 flights lined up for this weekend. Great to see Aer Lingus at CWL - they are quite frequent on the sporting event side.
Can also see that TOM are selling CWL-POP flights this winter (be it a very small programme), in the brochure it does state that flights will be operated by FCA aircraft. Not forgetting the TCX flights and XLA to Sharm el Sheikh and Zoom's weekly CWL-YYZ for Winter 2008-2009, could this be the end of the dead boring winter seasons at CWL ??????
Iberworld are initially operating for XLA long haul flights so far as XL Airways France still having some difficulties with obtaining US permission at the moment. The 747 flights were a nightmare last year and previous years, great to have the A330 - at least it fits on the birdges !!!!!
Saturday 24th / Sunday 25th was a nightmare - all the inbound sectors went really well and smooth. Aircraft parked up all in a line - it resembled an International Airport. Astraeus had G-OJIB operating still in the Iron Maiden World Tour colours. Quite a line up in front of BAMC, Eastern J41, Jestream Executive J31, City Jet ARJ, Aer Arann AT&, City Jet ARJ, Airlinair AT7, Highland J31 and Aeronova SWM with Echo holding GIE ATR AT7, Axis 734, Astraeus 757 and BMI 320.
The departures so Astraeus go with 8 hour delay (due crew rest) and the Monarch A300 going tech leading to another 8 hour delay (punctured tyre). The guys from Servisair looked as if they had an eight hour fight with Mike Tyson come Sunday morning as they were all well bushed !!!! Some had been on shift since 0530 on Saturday morning finishing at 0200 on Sunday morning.............
