Another good post by MV who is spot on. CWL needs something drastic to happen to turn its fortunes around. So many people from the Welsh side of the bridge now use BRS without even considering CWL. Vastly more choice of routes, often better timing on the routes flown from both airports and of course two genuine Low cost airlines in EasyJet and Ryanair.
As in most things in life once you get into the habit of doing something it is difficult to change and so many Welsh folk now chose BRS as a matter of habit. The challenge for the management at CWL is to persuade airlines to start new routes and to get people thinking CWL as their first choice airport. I fear it will be a tough challenge.
