These next potential route from Vueling is likely to be Malaga however they were not encouraged by the yield figures obtained by bmibaby while they operated the route. If they can find a way of increasing the yield on this route then it may work well.
It is difficult to see where the other routes may appear from as it will be required to operate to/from a base or on a W pattern with a base. Another longshot maybe a return of lo-cost flights to Amsterdam.
mustrum_ridcully, the powers that have realised that they cannot solely rely on summer holiday traffic which has seen a major decline due to the ecenomic climate. What they are seeking are relistic viable links to key destinations which can be of use to the business traveller and bring passengers into the country.
The South Wales economy needs a boost however we are now in the chicken or the egg situation. The airlines needs the business and potential passengers in place to make it viable. The businesses need airlines to connect them to key destinations to entice them to set up in South Wales. So either the airlines or businesses needs to assistance from the Welsh Government.
Now we have the St Athan Enterprize Zone & the Cardiff Central Business District that both are required to be a success. We have had a encouraging start from St Athan allthough things have gone quiet but the Central Business District has been very quiet.
