Air Wales
And still no one has answered my question where is the dear old dornier? I thought RGDT or AW purchased it in which case could it be used again or was it sold?

More B/S From AWW
OK peeps, the latest is that the AWW Charter Operation is a lie. (As Expected)
The Company WILL NOT retain a core staff.
The Company WILL NOT operate charter flights.
The Company WILL NOT operate cargo flights.
AWW stated that they would be operating these services in their press release in order to keep anyone they owe money to at bay.
If the above is true then there is likely to be outrage, as any of the existing staff who may have believed they would be part of this "core" group will not be happy. And understandably too, they have been messed around enough. Good Luck to all of you guys

I'm not sure if Air Wales travel shop will remain open they sell package holidays using the like of Thomson etc. If they do then maybe they will have some charters but it will not be Air Wales aircraft I would imagine they would use Air Atlantique (if that's how you spell it) or something similiar and hire them to operate the flight but it's unlikely.
Air Wales has a airline will be no more, some potential good news for the flight deck crews is that Aer Arran are coming over to the Holiday Express next week I think to talk to Air Wales Flight crews about potential jobs because they need ATR crews, so could be some light at the end of the tunnel in term of good folk getting jobs.

stone cold, airwales travel shop cannot sell air wales flights as their engine does not recognise Air Wales as an airline. i.e. on an advanced search for a flight from CWL to DUB(or anywhere else that air wales used to fly to), it requires you to change at AMS using KLM.a simple glitch that should of been seen to ages ago.just another chain to the problem.

AWW Travel is basically a franchise system from Global Travel, AWW do not even have to manage the travel website. Global Travel do. AWW would have had to post their flights on the global distribution network thingy in order to get on their own web-site (if that makes sense) I imagine there would be a large cost involved in doing that, however, couldnt have matters much worse could've it

Thats true, they at least should have had a link on there stating "To book a flight with Air Wales Click Here"
However, I dont think that would have made much difference. I wonder how many people actually visit the travel website a day, Could probably count them on your hands.

Whilst the news has been very sad this week , Im pretty sure in true Air Wales spirit most of the staff and a lot of the ex staff will want to give the airline the mother of all send off's .

Well, just been on eastern website to check some prices and:
CWL-NCL-CWL Same Day Return
£170.70 GBP
Compared to AWW
£106.60
Quite a big difference for the same product, granted T3 are succesful and more reliable but are the welsh public going to accept the extra £65? I think eastern only target business usrs where as AWW were trying to attract a leisure/business market. anyone any thoughts
