To sum it all up the Thomson was delayed 8 hours, the cause is unknown to me, but it could be a knock on effect from the adverse weather conditions yesterday.
The wind did cause a fair few problems on thurs!

) Hahn?
Does anyone know what is going on down in tinytown? Been of it for a few weeks?

SSH went 4 hrs late but crew hours caused nightstop in SSH. Also a/c had to fuel stop in Brindisi (Italy) for performance reasons due wind

Seen a few suits wondering around lately. Probably just checking on progress.
Be nice to have a working airbridge sometime soon!
I wonder if the condemned airbridge 7 will be back in time for summer (if they dont scrap the thing!)
It seems CWL wont be handling more flights this year... just more pax due to higher capacity a/c being plonked in!
Anyone think 2 1/4 or 2 1/2m pax is a bit ambitious this year?

I know that the KLM bosses were down on Fiday, wonder what they had to say about all the alterations, and whether or not they threatening to pull out alltogether in order to get a better deal at the airport.

I dont see the reasoning in them pullin out, when i came back from AMS the stewardess said "cant wait until the get the 737's on here" and thats no word of lie. Everytime ive flown to AMS to do studies there flights seem damn full regardless of aircraft type f70/f100.

well only once i have seen a KLM 737 at CWL, that was due to the Madona Crew having all htier luggage left at AMS when they were at Cardiff.
I would love to see it as a permanent a/c into the airport, much easier to plan the loads, and much easier for baggage to load and offload. I know they are having a lot of problems with the FOKKER's going tech. And the loads in and out of CWL are very high.
The problem is what will they do to the FOKKER's and is there any rough date of when this will happen?

Just a random thought, could the kl big chease's be down to evaluate the effectiveness of using a 737 into cardiff, possibly cutting the frequency to 3 daily, 737 on the peak morning and late evening runs and the f100 on the midday, as i said just a thought what do you think?

It is a nice thought but to be honest I doubt that it would happen, I think it's more likely to see how the new walkway is looking and whether they prefer their new designated (11) to their old stands of either (9 / 3).
I think it is to do with the KLM core team that is at CWL, i think that they would have to extend the KLM check-IN if they were to operate a 737.
It's a nice thought and we cld all dream.

At the moment the loads are around the 80 on the WW Ams, but obviously thats down to it being january. BMI Baby don't do too bad on the amsterdam route as a lot of leisure passengers use it. BMI Baby are being pretty quiet at the moment, shame quite a few of their flights are NON OP till the en of the month and into feb. Suprised they haven't put on extra flight to EDI for the Scotland V Wales route, mind BMI Mainline got 3 a day between Thursday and Sunday.
KLM been having problems with their FOKKER's today a lot of aircraft going tech. The last KLM into BRS was diverted due to the runway closure and arrived at CWL 00:45, it then went straight back out to AMS. KLM's BRS passengers won't be happy tomorrow with the first flight being cancelled. I hope your right about the 737 they would be much more reliable than what they got at the moment.

Seeing as my post last night has been wiped I will post it again:
Now that NCL has secured a daily DXB route, doesn't this throw the argument that CWL's catchment area is too poor and too small, to support routes such as these, out of the window? Statistics show that the North East is the poorest region of the UK and has a smaller population than Wales, but the fact that it now has a daily DXB service, adding to Milan, Rome, Paris and Brussels along with many other routes that CWL doesn't have, what is the excuse now for CWL's poor growth? Airlines such as Emirates, Ryanair, Easyjet and Flybe all serve NCL, why is CWL so stagnant and can't secure bread and butter routes such as Paris? Is the management the problem?

You can probably get from Cardiff to Heathrow (or Birmingham) as quickly as you can drive from Newcastle to Edinburgh airport.
However, I think the real reason is that Newcastle doesn't have the competition of a larger rival just down the road - MME doesn't have the range of services that BRS does.
