Sad to say I think CWL has had it's glory days, instead of getting more routes or planes it's getting less and less.
BRS is killing it, I hear so many welsh passengers on my flights I think the airlines just say what's the point flying out of CWL when they are happy to travel to BRS.
I personally think CWL is a far better airport than BRS to operate from as most days I think BRS still thinks it's a tiny quiet airfield and they have decided to keep the same level of personel unable to cope with how much it has expanded. Waiting 30 min for pax bus or the ambi-lift is not uncommon.
