What has been mentioned is that TOM re to have 1 x 757 and 1 x 738 at CWL next year. Not sure when the 733 is being swapped with the 738 but winter showing as 733. With the reduction of TOM flights it would be ideal for ZB to enter into CWL but we should have to wait and see.
Flybe will not be basing a DH8D at Cardiff, there are no plans to have a CDF base at this time, you can put that rumour to bed.
If Flybe are planning to become the largest carrier at CWL by 2011 then it must require them to have a based a/c otherwise it will mean a lot of other based aircraft operating flights. There were mentioned of some flights to Germanny from them but could not see it suiting the Business traveler if they didn't have an early morning departure.
I wonder what Flybe have thought of their CWL operation so far?
