Cardiff-2
But given the size of the world-wide fleet, aren't there issues with spares and on-going support?
What does the PSO contract say about the size of the a/c to be used. Hasn't this been an issue previously?

I believe the aircraft used in this route, G-MAJG has been reconfigured to just 19 seats.

Flybe summer schedule
New press release on the Cardiff Airport website. Not sure if we have gained or lost destinations. Interesting that they have chosen to plug the Dublin link for US connections again. It is clearly working for the KLM route so this would at least get international passengers starting their journeys from Cardiff which will help break the habit of going to Heathrow etc. Then they are more likely to look at Cardiff first. I recently used the KLM link to fly to Bogotá and much prefer that than the trek to Heathrow.*

As the CAA have been slow releasing the total figures for 2018 i decided not too wait and add up Amsterdams figures for myself.
In 2017 KLM carried 134,095 passengers in and out of Cardiff in 2018 this has gone up to 146,328. An extra 12,233 passengers have used the route in 2018 which is essentially an extra months worth of passengers and is growth of 9.1%.
November was the busiest month (13,472) with 9 months of the year over the 12,000 passenger mark.
Hopefully this growth will continue and will lead to larger aircraft in the long term.
It's also noticeable that fears that Qatar would just take KLMs passengers and that they would be forced out seem to be unfounded.

Can you confirm the DOH figures are indeed correct?
22 rotations in January would give 5,588 seats available for sale (at 5 weekly)
Sad to see such drops on those "nicer" routes to Germany and Italy; reason I guess they're being culled end of S19.
On the other hand it's nice to see those ski routes getting a nice little increase on last year.

I think some of the problem with those European cities is the schedule. Munich and Milan are good for business and tourism. But there aren’t many options for weekends away where you can fly out on a Friday and come back on a Sunday or Monday. This is largely down to the number of aircraft but ideally you would have two or three flights to the cities that allowed a bit more scope for a weekend city break. At the moment you can only really do that Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Paris and Amsterdam.

22 rotations would give 11,176 seats for the month 254 inbound 254 outbound. So effectively 508 seats each day it operates.

Assembly Debate
Interesting discussion between the Chiefs of CWL, BRS and MAN on the devolution of APD to Wales.
Its a little long but worth a listen...
https://parliamentlive.tv/event/inde...2-a9aa674041e5
I do wonder if BHX were invited along too?
