Just to add it looks like that during September and October with the exception of the last week of October Wednesday and Thursday will also be 3 daily E190s. So 4 days out of 7 Cardiff will have 3 daily E190 flights.

Such a shame about the current Flybe situation, not just for CWL but for the whole of the UK.
All this press attention are not going to do it any good......they did some good things for CWL and opened up quite a lot of new destinations before the Embraers left and the base closed.
Should the worse happen, what next for CWL and the BE routes? Who could/would/want to taken them over??
ABZ - Eastern
VLY - Eastern
BHD - ??
CMF - TUI?
ORK - Aer Lingus Regional / Stobart
DUB - Ryanair / Aer Lingus Regional / Stobart
EDI - Loganair?
GVA - TUI?
JER - Blue Islands? Eastern?
NCL - Eastern
CDG - Air France?
Or are we going to see Virgin/Stobart step in to the safe the day should BE fold......as someone said on a previous page similar to BMI Regional and Loganair situation.

I could see Loganair takeover Edinburgh and Belfast but Cork Jersey Chambery and Geneva I'd say would be lost and Dublin and Paris CDG might be tricky to retain as well. With Dublin the obvious candidates would be Aer Lingus and Ryanair but both might choose to add frequency at Bristol instead and Paris it would be Air France but they might not consider Cardiff important enough to operate to and just be happy routing people through Amsterdam. Hopefully we won't have to find out if Cardiff can attract them!

Cardiff's curse has been not to have that steady based scheduled carrier that doesn't go bust! A lot of doom and gloom elsewhere regarding the airports future but the ironic thing is that the Welsh governments ownership will safeguard Cardiff through any potential rough times ahead. Other airports sadly might not have that safeguard.

As a result of today’s announcement and Government help for Flybe, if or when APD gets scrapped on domestic flights, would CWL benefit from any new internal UK flights?
Would we see the return of LCY, LBA or MAN?
Just a thought after all the goings on today

TUI have increased Bourgas to 2 weekly from Cardiff Airport for summer 2020. Flights operate on Mondays and Thursdays.
In total at peak summer TUI will operate 47 weekly flights from Cardiff 44 on 3 based aircraft and 3 with non based aircraft.

Just had an email from Flybe about my flight from Cardiff to Aberdeen and they have said that from the 10th February Eastern Airways will suspend their Cardiff to Newcastle flights, for passengers flying to Newcastle it looks like they will be offered alternative flights to Teeside and onward transport to Newcastle, for passengers like me who are flying to Aberdeen it just means the fuel stop will be at Teeside instead of Newcastle.
Given the 737 MAX issues, well aired on the TUI thread one wonders if they actually have equipment in place to operate all these additional services, not just from CWL but across the network. Could be some interesting (from an industry / enthusiast perspective) subchartering and summer leasing, not just from the likes of Sunwing. I imagine it could cause a few issues with disgruntled passengers "taking to" social media.
