I agree that a Jet2 operation would work for CWL. CWL needs a LCC to come in otherwise the airport is totally unsustainable.
The one thing that amused me is that Patrick Duffy (CWL MD) said that the door is wide open for FR...that would not of been his opinion the day before the baby announcement at all. FR and CWL are not on good terms and CWL would literally have to prostitute itself off to FR in order for them to come in.
I would doubt a carrier will replace CWL this winter, as its a really difficult time to start operations from any airport with the winter market being much smaller than the summer. Summer 12 would be the time to start a new LCC at CWL with enough time to generate good ticket sales.
Lets see what the management and Welsh Assembly Government can pull out the bag.
