Air Malta have been operating for many summers out of CWL and various other regional airportss around the UK. Thomson are 1 of about 5 tour operators that use the weekly flight. Thomas Cook also have an allocation.

Going to Malta in August and just checked the prices, Tue flights at twice the price of Ryan Air @ BRS and Air Malta @ LHR, must do better I'm afraid to be attractive.

Would it be fair to say the majority of people using the CWL-Malta would be leisure and tour packages therefore the number of 'scheduled' seats to purchase flight only are significantly lower compared to the FR route from BRS and Air Malta from LHR both scheduled? The prices will be different and probably not the best comparison

A Thomson Airways plane has been forced to make an emergency landing at London Gatwick after a cabin pressure warning light was activated.
The passenger aircraft with 188 people onboard was heading to the popular resort of Sharm el Sheik in Egypt when the warning light suddenly came on moments after taking off from Cardiff International Airport.
The TOM532 flight immediately dropped altitude to 10,000ft and circled Dover before heading to Gatwick to land.
It's believed a technical fault may have caused the light to come on.

Free airport shuttle under threat
Ground transport links from Cardiff Airport to the capital of Wales are set to decline as the free shuttle linking Cardiff Airport to the local railway station is under threat.
The current subsidy is due to run out in March and is partly funded by the Welsh Government & Vale of Glamorgan council. Although the council wish to continue to fund their part in the service the Welsh Government does not.

But how many passengers actually utilise the Rhoose rail station shuttle?
I'd suggest it is much more convenient to take the bus from/to Cardiff Central directly to/from the airport, historically National Express were codesharing with the X91 bus, the only downside is the infrequency of the services, perhaps any subsidy might be better invested in to the Cardiff Central/Airport bus services, increase in frequency of services, half size buses but twice as many of them, improved early morning/late evening services or whatever!
