Winter 09/10 is going to be a very quiet one for WW out of CWL. Most week days there will only be 2 x EDI and 1 x BFS = 3 rotations. There maybe an international on one week day but can't remember off the top of my head when i looked online.

Weekends there are 5 or 6 flights.

There could possibly be many reasons for this such as:-
  1. Not enough advanced bookings as previous years and therefore withdrawing certain days of operation from service including dropping routes such as the GNB.
  2. Aircraft to be used during week days at other bases due to one or two aircraft going back to the leasing company.
  3. Route not profitable during winter seasons.
  4. Mixture of all
There is also the uncertainty that is at WW in regards to what Lufthansa is planning to do with the company. Could also be having a knock on effect with bookings.

If anyone cares to correct me then please do so.
