It all depends on whether or not it will return. They said phase 2 would be released in a few weeks when phase 1 was released so more routes should be any time now.

According to Wales Online approx 6 months ago. Depending on the figures for 2010 out fo CWL then we are expected for up to 50 jobs created at CWL by Flybe. This would suggest a Flybe base.
Before the recession Flybe wanted to operate some German and French routes which could only provide business friendly flight times with a base at CWL

Last time I spoke to contacts within their management, there was no interest in establishing a formed 'base' at Cwl with resident management, staff pilots and cabin crew,engineering cover etc. ; however a nightstopping aeroplane was a possibility.

I do know what the difference is between a base and a night stopping aircraft.
However i doubt that one night stopping aircraft would lead to up to 50 jobs as stated in the article.
If there were to be an overnight aircraft or two then surely there would need some kind of engineering cover required to perform daily checks even if it was to use current engineers based at CWL.
There maybe an aircraft and crew based at CWL but regional manager would be in control of station as present rather than having one dedicated station manager.

Highland's replacement
Sorry, I don't mean to sound sarcastic/patronising...but haven't you answered your own question? If the tender closes today then surely still no-one will know who the winner is yet as the choice has yet to be made.
In terms of who is in the running, as rumoured previously here (and elsewhere) it is believed that contenders may include Loganair (SF340), Eastern Airways (BAe J41), Blue Islands (BAe J31/ATR42??), Manx2 (EQUIP??)

Rhoose Cardiff International Airport Station
The station name doesn't seem very appropriate any more and could mislead passengers if they get a train to the station thinking that they will arrive at the airport!

If I hadn't read the article I'd probably turn-up at rhoose station and wonder where the shuttle bus is.
Good opportunity for Vale of Glam. taxi drivers to earn a few bob when the train arrives...

I doubt Manx 2 will be involved as they are only a ticket agent in real terms.
They don't have an AOC as I can remember as the aircraft are all leased from various back street garages.
