Landing charges are of less interest than the pax service charges - the latter is a PVC, the former a DOC. And overall, the overall package to the airline is the interesting thing, not the elements of it.
The way forward for CWL is to attract more carriers similar to Vueling such as Air Berlin or its low cost subsidiary, Niki.
The way to do this is to prove in terms that the airlines understand that the market exists out of Cardiff. No one seems to want to address that elephant in the room, except the wiser heads on here. Sadly, the evidence is starting to prove the opposite.
Looking at Vueling's loads - dismal. April showed a load factor out of CWL of less than 50% - which for a low cost is poor. Unless this really picks up, we can add Vueling to the list of the 'Failed in Wales' carriers...
