If the powers are handed across to the Welsh Government then it is obvious APD may be dissolved on all flights ex CWL.
There is no way CWL would be able to catch up to BRS level on short haul flights, far too late for that now.
However long haul flights may prove to be the icing on CWL's cake, it has a long enough runway, handles wide body aircraft in a regular basis which can only attract the airlines with the offer of no APD.
All a waiting game I suppose and can only help CWL's opportunity of bagging a decent long haul airline.....we all know either CWL or BRS can gain a Middle East airline or a service to New York.....time will tell.
