I've nothing against state intervention and I've nothing against Cardiff growing - I do however believe that state intervention should be fair and open, and available to every one.

This is a brief summary on Welsh Government funding.

If the 'state' involved is the Welsh government then they can only give it to airports in Wales. Regardless of whether a percentage of that money comes from the rest of the UK, responsibility for how it is spent has been devolved to the Welsh government. As has been mentioned, if administrations in other parts of the UK choose not to spend their cash in the same way, that's not Wales's problem.

Eastern Airways will operate a reduced schedule on their Cardiff to Newcastle route between now and the 21st December.
Monday to Thursday will be 1 daily flight CWL-NCL 10.25-11.50 NCL-CWL 14.00-15.25
On Fridays there will be CWL-NCL 10.25-11.50 NCL-CWL 13.15-14.40 CWL-NCL 18.25-19.50
On Sundays there will be NCL-CWL 16.05-17.30 inbound flight only
So it's looking like 1 J41 will overnight at CWL and will operate this pattern Monday to Thursday.
CWL-VLY-CWL-NCL NCL-CWL-VLY-CWL
On Fridays it looks like this.
CWL-VLY-CWL-NCL NCL-CWL-VLY-CWL-NCL
The schedule goes back to 10 weekly in January.

I found it's cheaper to fly to Edinburgh and catch the train down!

Ryanair

New route from FR. CWL-BCN starting summer 19. 2x weekly

VY must be chopping the route after all.

[PDXCWL45]

Good news as at least CWL won't lose a route and will get a daily Ryanair movement in summer 2019.

[PDXCWL45]

So Ryanair for Summer 2019 looks like this.
Faro is 2 weekly Monday and Friday the same as this year.
Monday FAO-CWL 08.45-11.25 CWL-FAO 11.50-14.30
Friday FAO-CWL 16.20-19.00 CWL-FAO 19.25-22.05
Tenerife South is 1 weekly Thursday the same as this year.
TFS-CWL 14.20-18.15 CWL-TFS 18.40-22.45
Malta NEW is 2 weekly Wednesday and Sunday
MLA-CWL 07.00-09.25 CWL-MLA 09.50-14.15
Barcelona NEW is 2 weekly Tuesdays and Saturdays
Tuesday BCN-CWL 08.25-09.30 CWL-BCN 09.55-13.00
Saturdays BCN-CWL 07.40-08.45 CWL-BCN 09.10-12.15
That gives Cardiff 7 weekly flights from Ryanair +4 on 2018 and a Ryanair movement on every day of the week.

the article also states that BE have released their full schedule. The BE website seems to suggest otherwise unless TXL / DUS etc are cut next year

Looking at their schedule there are still gaps on Wednesdays and Sundays for Berlin or a similar timed flight. On Saturday for a Dusseldorf or similar timed flight and Friday for an extra Dublin flight. The schedule is only onsale up until early September so there should be another release. If Berlin and Dusseldorf get dropped then I'd have thought that theyd be replaced either by extra frequencies on some current routes or by a new route.

DUS & GCI always seem to be late releases over the last 2 years and tend to be announced after the initial batch of routes.

Any more idea on this PMI rumour for BE that’s circulating? Would this fill the missing TXL flights and would it be PMI for summer and TXL for winter?

Only thing with PMI is on the wiki post it says starts on 4th April which is a Thursday but the wiki post could be wrong! PMI would be a solid route for them in the summer.

That'll be interesting to see if it happens!

Why not? TUI and Thomas Cook both base at Cardiff and Bristol. It doesn't need to be one or the other.
