Here's some romours for you, appologies if they are repeated from previous pages, I haven't really got the time to go and check they are not posted already! 
International Pier - Apparently will be reworked, all of the engineering downstairs (Storm and Air Wales) will be moved out, so upstairs is the departure walkways, and downstairs will be walkways to arrivals.
Domestic Pier - Apparently to be demolished (due to asbestos), and in its place will be some "taxi on, taxi off" stands for the aircraft (Baby 737s etc).
All engineering will be moved up the top (I believe where the domestic aircraft park, by the security building) (First Choice, Storm etc - Air Wales to goto their hangar over the back).
Any thoughts on those?

Not sure how often the 75/76 went to PMI/ALC/AGP/IBZ. But 225 seats as opposed to 147 means that a 733 would have to fly 4 rotations to match a 757s 3 rotations (Ish).
Not knowing this years Britannia schedule, I'm not sure how much extra capacity is actually happening?

Been a bit quiet here lately......we've been bored silly with the lack of romours this week!
Anyone know whats going on? There have been cameras at the airport at least twice this week, lots of managers and meetings....somethings afoot!
Oh, and there is always that program on last night (Week in Week out I believe), detailing just how abscent customs are at CWL and other Welsh points of entry to the UK (Ports etc also).

This from the website
Does this smell like RyanAir to anyone else? The rumour has been bounded about for a long time, and it seems unlikely to be EasyJet with their base at Bristol.
Anyone know anything else?
A senior team from Cardiff International Airport, led by Managing Director, Jon Horne, held 17 private meetings to discuss a number of target routes, including destinations in France, Germany, and other European centres.

Sorry for the reality check but that 'quote' is from the 'routes' get together in CPH the other week, most airports in the UK did exactly the same!
Always possible something may come out of it still though?
