Nothing concrete at the moment. Hopefully though in the long term CWL will be able to attract Jet2 as they'd be great for the airport.

The airport is open, along with the roads to the airport apart from 5 mile lane from what i've seen online. I don't live near St Athan I live in Cardiff and things are starting to thaw so conditions should be improved tomorrow. Flybe have cancelled their flights for today but Vueling and TUI are operating today. Hopefully the airport will be back to normal tomorrow.

It looks like they've dropped a PMI rotation to fit it in.

Flybe are planning to add a 4th based aircraft to their Cardiff base potentially for Summer 2019 and are looking at new routes to Spain, the UK, Germany and Italy.

That implies that the current Dash is being replaced with a 175?

It is. The base will be 2 E195s and 1 E175 until the end of June then become 1 E195 and 2 E175s from then on. Whether the proposed 4th based aircraft will be an E jet or Q400 the article doesn't say.

Let’s hope we see PRG return to CWL with the planned Flybe expansion and a twice weekly fit would fit in well with their programme and fleet.

Would love to see some more French regional airports too, guess it’s a waiting game to find out their plans

I can't imagine there will be any new routes because the schedule is already full with existing routes. You'll probably see new routes if and when the 4th aircraft is announced officially, which won't be till summer 19 at the very earliest.

This winters schedule wasn't completely full. I'm pretty sure there were gaps where the aircraft were parked up between flights on some days. If there is anything new we'll find out tommorrow.
