You're correct, they were parked up for exactly that, it's winter and most, if not every airline runs a reduced schedule for obvious reasons. I'll be very, very surprised if we see "new" routes announced. I'm always happy to be proved wrong of course.

How are the forward bookings on the new QR service? My family is certainly trying to support it haha, we've got 11 family members flying out to SIN in July for a wedding, and another 5 flying to BKK for holiday in October, then 6 people flying to MNL in November. All flights were around £450-£500 return, which is great especially considering the saving in fuel driving to LHR.

It is definitely more convenient than Heathrow!

The new airbridge has been fitted now. Also the stands in that area will be reconfigured with 2 new ones 7L and 8R being created with 7L being the wide body stand. 8R will be inbetween 8 and 7 and stand 7 will be moved up a bit.
Also the Welsh government will invest £6 million more into the airport in return for more equity. More terminal building upgrades have been mentioned along with a logistics hub.

While I appreciate that state aid is a dark art, does make you wonder what does qualify as state aid if this doesn't. Shame this sort of facility isn't available to all airports in the UK.

Advantage of having our own government is that infrastructure like airports can be run more for the benefit of the country and the government can take a longer view investment wise.

TUI - extra based aircraft from Summer 2019
Looks that TUI will base a third shorthaul aircraft as of summer 2019 with new routes to Dubrovnik and Naples. No longhaul announcement though, Doncaster gets an Orlando route.

That’s quite a nice surprise announcement from TUI, so HRG appears to be year round now, new flights to NAP & DBV and extra flights to MAH, PFO and a few others.
3 aircraft based for Summer 2019
