CARDIFF - 2

[mathers_wales_uk]

Hi letsflycwl,

By looking at the the departure screens for Cardiff Airport you will be able to see the airlines as for the flights.

As for aircraft types these vary but will not be known in advance unless you work for the airport.

Cheers - I am out of the country at the moment so thanks for your help with this !!

Some interesting carriers operating

[AirGuru]

FUE reinstated by TOM at CWL for half of the winter season, operating late October, a couple in November and 3 flights over the December/January period. Utilising the based aircraft on a Wednesday which has not been the case for a while when PFO is non-op.

Also, a great result from the boys in red yesterday, group winners. Who would have thought that ey ? The English won't like it, but Cardiff Airport might ! I wonder who will be the first airline to put on extra flights to/from CDG this weekend ...

Norwegian air

Is this a new flight to TFS south, or a replacement charter ad hoc service. Who are the pictures of, on the tails.

[AirGuru]

Charter for TOM.

[Letsflycwl]

The pictures on the tails of the Norwegian aircraft are famous Scandinavians

Cobalt Air

I have had an email direct from Cobalt advising that Cardiff (and the other destinations initially announced but not released to date) are all in Phase 2 which will be for the Winter 2016-2017 season.

Schedules to be announced shortly

[Letsflycwl]

With all the success Wales are having in the Euro 2016 football, are there any charters scheduled to operate to LYS on Wednesday ??

Anyone know ?

[mathers_wales_uk]

Gullivers & Strachan have both been selling day return flights. Unfortunately it is not known if they are two seperate flights or if they are sharing allocation.

Nothing is displaying on the Cardiff Airport flight information screens at present.

[fanrailuk]

Seems there's a few ad-hoc flights arranged for Wednesday:

OR7374 TUI Airlines NL - STD0600
ZT351 Titan Airways - STD1000
SVB001 Si Avia - STD1030
OR7376 TUI Airlines NL - STD1110
BE1001 Flybe - STD1300

All flights are to Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport LYS

[Letsflycwl]

Oh cheers, just noticed those on the departure board too.......TUI Airlines Netherlands will most prob be the B738 but I wonder Flybe will be using for BE1001 ? Must be using an aircraft based at another airport......

The Times - Welsh dragon takes off again at Cardiff
"Cardiff has become the nation’s fastest-growing airport"

[Letsflycwl]

On the Blue Islands thread there is a post the they have applied to operate GCI-CWL-GCI.....I expect this will be for Flybe

Anyone heard anything about this ?

[Letsflycwl]

I know it's only Wikipedia and any Tom, Dick or Harry can add to it but it's showing Ryanair as starting FAO, GRO and AGP......

Any truth in this or just wishful thinking of someone ?

Thomson with B788 to DWC
Thomson schedules Dubai service in W16 :: Routesonline

As CWL has not the longest runway is there any restirction or can the B788 start without any problems? Could EK operate a B77W to CWL someday with the current runway?

The B788 can operate from CWL without restrictions. Unsure as to whether a B77W could do a DXB at 100%. I'd imagine there'd be some sort of payload restriction in some shape or form.

Cardiffs runway is slightly longer than newcastle's so should be on unless they have restrictions there too.

Summer 2017

Anything new for summer 2017? When will BE release their summer programme? Anything new expected? I read a rumour on here about LOCO opening a base for summer 2017 any known progress?

[fanrailuk]

Flybe Summer 2017 will be on sale in the Autumn, most likely mid/late October.

[Letsflycwl]

Hopefully Cobalt will start CWL-LCA for Summer 2017

Also Blue Islands have applied for the GCI-CWL-GCI licence (if it happens)

Would be great to see a LOCO, be it just a few flights here and there to start.

Really thought Ryanair would have offered another Canary Island destination such as LPA, ACE or FUE, but still good to see TFS increasing this winter to twice a week.
