At least the merger of Mytravel and Thomas Cook did the airport some good, with an increase in routes, more winter routes, a large based aircarft. Roll on Summer 09/ Summer 10 cause Thomas Cook will keep expanding at CWL cause they know its a good base.
Why can't anther holiday airline such as Monarch or Flyglobespan make up from the missed oppertunities at CWL!
Is it me or does Cardiff not get on with its airlines. Some are really dedicated and some just get in a mood and cut routes.
