Well we knew about TOM when the Fc/Tom merger came through, but orlando is being taken up by MYT ad one of there A330's Nice! Xl may put an Orlando service on but Zoom finishing Vancouver is a shock but theres 1% of me is thinking that is that slot on the aircraft being freed up for an NY service, Nah cant be but would be nice!!!!!

The Zoom a/c operating into CWL is Canadian. The JFK routes are operated by ZoomUK, so a/c slot would not be the reason. YYZ has always been popular, so hopefully they just havent released the schedule for YVR. Shame if it does go though.
XL/Travel city will be operating x4 flights during high season next year according to their site, on the A330.
Its a great shame that TOM is stopping the long haul.
Its strange though that the perception was they were to send long haul to BRS. Yet TOM arent selling SFB from either CWL or BRS for 08.
However they will be operating wkly to POP Winter08/09 as they are restarting their own carribean cruises with cruise and stay on offer. CWL is one of the routes. Seems they havent lost all faith in CWL long haul!
Not strictly true, whilst CUN will be dropped, as Smile said, MYT will be operating the SFB route on their A330, which unless is a split with another UK station, will be a capacity increase of about 100 per flight.
At the moment looking on MYT's website it does appear as if SFB is not shared with any other station

Thomsonfly long haul
Dont worry we will get the SFB and CAN back, the demand has been excellent once the merger with First choice has been fully established! we as crew recon they will bring it back for 2009, after all why promote something then take it away!! Its because of the merger! CWL Passengers are fab! they love the new longhaul product legroom etc and they get the chance to fly direct from CWL.

No SFB will not be shared with another base on a MYT/TCX A330-200. However Thomas Cook website now showing flights for next summer operated by TOM? But MYT site still showing MYT, both on Thursdays, but at different times.
Next year PMI on XL will not be operating X-PMI-CWL-PMI-X, as this year, but the flight will originate from Cardiff, maybe a base in on the cards? Although its the only flight on the schedules at the moment
Next years flight for TCD will be operated by TCD, so XL. Only once weekly as far as I can tell.
Ofcourse 5 flights a day

As for the 'plastic liner', we are all sat twiddling our thumbs over here with great anticipation for the saviour of our STOL runway is only a year away! We were concerned Airfix (the company designing and making the wings!) were going bust, but all seems back on track now! Phew!!!!

Anyone else on here would like to see threads like the one above disappear and allow reasoned debate and speculation rather than the same spotter type post every week ?
If there is any news you can bet it will be on here, Cardiff thread doesn't have to be on the front page all the time, if nothing is happening guess what nothing is happening.
Apologies to Prune Pop for posting this I'm just fed up of this being a thread with no real purpose.

Flower. It is probably worth pointing out that this is a rumour network and probably worth taking most threads with a pinch of salt. It is fair to say all factual news is discussed as and when it happens but is also a place to discuss possibilities and missed opportunites, and a bit of banter too. Its not a sterile news post. The lead in even says 'Topics about airports, routes and airline business.' not 'Hard factual News only!'. Lighten up!

Some posters require tutoring
Surely this is an industry forum and not for spotters, also some of the posters here really do need some English lessons. Punctuation is deplorable on some, you'd not make it into my operation with that standard of written English, or Welsh to that matter.

Only to New York. I guess if punters wanted to get further to SFO, LAX or YVR for that matter, they would head to CWL. Oh actually nope-they don't do those routes either.....sorry what was your point again!?!

You will no doubt notice that there are more than just a few deletes. A good number of them were about BRS! This forum refers to CWL.
Btw. Spotter questions or comments are not acceptable on here. There is another forum for those.
