CWL handled 176,704 (up 7.2%) with a 12-month rolling total of 1,618,285 (up 7.1% on a year ago).
SEN handled 203,284 (up 58.1%) with a 12-month rolling total of 1,646,146 (up 37% on a year ago).
SOU handled 159,249 (down 13%) with a 12-month rolling total of 1,921,779 (down 7.1% on a year ago)
CWL is seeing steady but consistent growth, as it has done for the past few years. With yet more pressure on the government to devolve APD together with the increasing likelihood that BRS (its main competitor) will find getting local authority permission to raise its 10 mppa passenger cap becoming more difficult following May's local elections, the 2020s could be a good decade for CWL.

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.

And another 1-2 UK departure points planned for next 12-18 months apparently. With those intermittent and sometimes dire loads... have they no shame?! (and not a unnecessary shouty bold print, capitalisation or emphasis in sight)

Or maybe they value the feed from the UK into their network? Passenger and cargo wise.

NATS have signed a 10 year deal to provide Cardiff airport with ATC and engineering services. They will also provide ATC for St Athan.

From the article linked above.
The top ten most popular routes this summer are:
Palma de Mallorca with Vueling, TUI and Thomas Cook
Malaga with Vueling, Ryanair and TUI
Amsterdam with KLM
Doha with Qatar Airways
Edinburgh with Flybe
Alicante with TUI and Vueling
Dublin with Flybe
Dalaman with Thomas Cook and TUI
Tenerife with Thomas Cook, TUI and Ryanair
Paris with Flybe
Hopefully that means Doha is around the 9000 to 10000 mark for June

Yeah part of it is political opportunity but I do get the feeling that their is a lot of the time an unrealistic expectation around Cardiff. I had a conversation with ex CWL management who feels that it's way under performing and should already be over the 2 million passengers mark. A lot of people I speak to seem to be believe Cardiff should be up there competing with Bristol and Birmingham as an airport. I just think that is unrealistic.
