DOH creeping up, who would have thought more were travelling from CWL to DOH than CWL to TFS or DUB !
August always a little artificial though as representation of year round loads.

Hopefully as well it won't take too long for the airport to get back to the current numbers once the loss of Thomas Cook kicks in and the Flybe reduction.

Could this lead to anything extra from CWL ? Although not specifically mentioned it does state UK Regional Airports especially with the demise of Thomas Cook

That’s what I was thinking and they will be the main operator too with very little competition unlike other U.K. airports.
CWL certainly need to do something to compensate the amount of passengers being lost with the demise of Thomas Cook. I would have thought Ryanair would have added extra capacity for Summer 2020 to some of the “sun” routes......
With no more Thomas Cook and the reduction of Flybe destinations that’s a big amount of passengers lost.

the press release only mentions northern airports with no indication of extra flights south of Birmingham. Maybe to follow ?

The issue for CWL is that TCX were only a summer operation. That would likely rule out any Airline opening a base as there would be better options throughout the country in replacing TCX. It is however an opportunity for the like of VY or FR that could open or grow routes from other Airports. Unfortunately there aren't many options for CWL like there are at other Airports.
TUI however have stated specific Airports in their press release, although I think this is just media spin and spreads to more Airports than just those mentioned. DSA is mentioned that wasn't a TCX base, but is a current TUI base competing with LBA, MAN and EMA. I wouldn't write off TUI expansion at CWL just yet.

From 10th November to 25th March 2020 Cardiff airports Malta route will be operated by Ryanair's Malta Air subsidiary.
Anyone know if Malta Air will have it's own livery or just be Ryanair aircraft?

It's probable for Summer 2020 Cardiff Airport will see the return of away based carriers operating on behalf of TUI.
Monday's Mallorca and Thursday's Antalya now have away based times and marked Other Carrier.
This will leave gaps on based aircraft to be filled on those days.

Now that Flybe are being rebranded as Virgin Connect, what is going to happen with Eastern Airways and their franchise ?
Are they going to be a Virgin Connect franchisee ? Will we see the little J41 operating both VLY & NCL in the Virgin logo ?
