I think its just the ramp because they made an agreement with aviance at CWL, all the serivsair people still work there on the ramp just under aviance. But some of the management team is both aviance and serivsair employees like the station manager.

Servisair still have front of house (checkin etc) and Cargo.
The Ramp contract was handed over to Aviance, not sure the exact reason but im sure Aviance gave a better deal. And what business wouldnt turn down a better deal?
The Wing collision was sometime last yr. A VLM plane hit the edge of the old pier, possibly due to being guided in incorrectly

New Routes / Enhanced Frequencies
Few more charter routes for CWL next summer:
XLA --> KGS (in conjunction with FCA - I believe), MIR
FCA --> FNC , IBZ, HER
Anyone know if the flight to POP which airtours are selling will be operated by MYT or if they have a charter allocation on TOM for next summer? Last time i chacked the website no airline was announced. Any further route news guys? Any news on scheduled flights from the Capital? what about the North - South airlink?

Yeh Kos is replacing the LPA. Interesting though, according to XL's timetable, both FUE and MIR leave on a wed at 0500.
MyTravel are no longer advertising POP on their website, but also heard TOM may be dropping POP. Its not bookable as a holiday, but is on their flight timetable.
Looking at the rest of their schedule, there are days when it looks like there'll be 3 aircraft at CWL! (not including the longhaul 763) JER is supposed to be on a 737 next year when an aircraft becomes available.
Also appears there's gonna be 2 aircraft here for the winter.
Would there still be a possibilty of XL staying through the winter? Apparently they announced BRS quite late on last year.
FCA seem to be concentrating on BRS now, so would be nice to see MYT with a good comeback at CWL!

It seems ever since serivsair pulled out of cardiff and handed it over to aviance the serivce and safety has gone down hill.
How things have changed though. I can remeber a few years back that Aviance were due to pull out of CWL. Obvioulsy something seriously wrong with Servisair senior managment if the boot is now on t'other foot.

FCA - BJV sundays, DLM thursdays, starting towards end of month.
MYT and TOM possibly dropping POP? why would they do that, thought it was a very popular route from CWL? I know the FCA sales for BRS-POP for next year are phenominal, but theres no way that would have any baring on the CWL routes surely?

The TOM flight from CWL to POP operated with almost full load ( whenever i checked the company intranet) but it all depends on what the people paid to travel on it. I can't see how we could have lost money on it though!

CWL-KGS
Cwlfly says that Kos is being served for the first time from Cardiff. Whoever wrote that need to check their facts, MYT used to fly to KGS on a Sat night....a favourite flight amongst the crew!! With a report time of around 8pm and landing around 7am it was very popular
quote: Both Excel Airways and First Choice are planning to add Kos to their Cardiff networks next summer, the first time this Greek island has been served directly from Wales.

Unless the marketing department is using sloppy phraseology and means the first time Excel and First Choice have flown from CWL to Kos, it raises eyebrows as to what sort of operation they are running.
As mytfly says Airtours/MyTravel flew an overnight Saturday flight to Kos and it operated every summer from 1996 (or even further back possibly) and was only pulled after the 2004 summer season.
It was originally AIH 638 then AIH (later MYT) 762 on the return leg, presumably 637 and 761 on the outbound (I 'inherited' a mass of old records/timetables relating to both CWL and BRS).

Well I was going to go away from Pprune but had to add my bit..... as MV says new it isn't, in fact if my memory serves me right from my days selling Paramount Airways, we operated some Cardiff to Kos flights back then!
On another Cardiff subject just booked the regular trip to Brussels and tried to book Eastern out of Cardiff, two people 11/8 nearly £500. Same dates Sabena from Bristol £174 ..... hmmmm?

Aircraft should wait until a marshaller is present on stand unless an airport has a self docking system, which if CWL is like BRS then they dont and rely on a marsheller. Aircraft should never taix onto stand which out guidence, because there could be a hazard on stand like FOD or equipement still left on stand by ground crews. I think the fact that at CWL aircraft are taxing onto with out guidence and no chocks in place after shutdown just reflected the serivce that avaince gives its airlines. Safety Over Speed!
