It’s on the BOH page that TUI May be looking at Cape Verde for 2020 from there, I know it’s all rumours etc but that would be a great destination for CWL too !!

I wonder if CWL are chasing TUI for this destination ? They do it from BRS already.

I think TUI will be very guarded over their future plans and any expansions as they announce losses of up to 300m euros due to the MAX groundings plus a possible -26% hit on the yearly figures.
TUI do not think they will see the MAX back this summer and are planning a hit of 300m Euros.

I'd be surprised if they ever operated it from Cardiff but it would be nice but surprising. A lot of the destinations that TUI do from Cardiff are linked to cruises as that is popular. I expect any further expansion would be linked to that or Turkey. Would be nice to see if they brought back Orlando but it would be surprising if they did.

Yep overall the airport is going in the right direction and the Qatar route as well seems to be growing. I think its just about awareness and getting people look at Cardiff as their first option. Amsterdam is also doing well and KLM have added extra seats as well. I'm flying with them at the end of the month booked through Delta and it was as cheap as the Heathrow option.

RPS on behalf of Legal and general is preparing an outline planning application to build a new business park on port road adjacent to Cardiff airport which will include offices, industrial units, space for logistics, warehousing and distribution.

The Welsh Affairs committee has recommended that the UK government devolve APD to Wales by 2021. The UK government now has 2 month's to reply.

Lets hope there is an agreement this time for this to be devolved to the Welsh Government to control as this could be of great benefit to CWL and Wales !

I'm not holding my breath but even just long haul would be an achievement.

There now also appears to be a Wizz Air flight to Debrecen in Hungary along with Budapest, not sure if it is now 3 flights (x2 BUD & x1 DEB) or 2 flights (x1 BUD & x1 DEB).

The Doha stats have increased by 69% over May last year but still seem incredibly low for a daily wide-body. Can anyone provide an accurate load factor for this?

Total May 2019 CWL Performance is excellent overall with a monthly total that is 20,000 pax ahead of the likes of SOU.
