Hi,

I've heard of a few rumours flying around re EK new routes, but I'm not sure about CWL.

Whats your source for this one?

I do know that EK already have some slots for Rio and Sao Paulo, but can't say anymore than that.

Regards

HP Source is a favourite of mine, but my Bristolian buddy here prefer's Daddies!

Cant say where I got the source from, Morrissons is about the cheapest.

Seriously though, Emirates are flying into the valleys next year.
Could be a W with Swansea, Who knows?

lots of talk around CWL about EK operating to DXB.

Maybe it really is going to happen at last

I think EK has selected its destinations for 2005 - Hamburg, Geneva and Seoul are the main ones and while there is a chance new destinations may be added, the airline has been speaking of long haul routes.

I'd like to see CWL on the schedule ... but not before Dublin. Come on EK, Dublin is crying out for a ME/Asian service. There can't be too many opportunities as good!

If I was Maurice Flanagan, HH Sheikh Ahmed or Tim Clark, I would look at doing DUB and CWL in a double-drop....

Just so long as Air Wales and Ryanair remember to oppose traffic rights of course.....

Hate to put a downer on things but according to the release we just had, it is looking unlikely there will be much expansion of routes at Cardiff this year, but that 2006 is already looking promising......

Hi there,

My first post here. As a CWL local it would be nice if others could discuss and post in adult manner on CWL. Enough of the sheep jokes, eh? It get's to a stage where it is stupid and childish.

Anyway, back to the post. What is the outlook for 2005 and what is positive on the 2006 sides of things?

Regards,

Chris

Is there anything to the speculation that Air Wales are to receive some ATR-72s? If so, it would be a great idea.

I'll be very suprised if EK start from CWL especially with the current state of affairs concerning Aviance and poss S-air being booted out, I imagine Sheik whats his name is thinking sod this, what good is it putting my prestiege airline in here if they don't have any handlers left!!!
Me thinks Aena or whoever is behind this nonsense has scared em off and cost CWL a very lucrative route, but then i'm no expert, this is just my outlook on it.
