Sorry if this has been discussed before (I'm not a regular on this thread!) but I've just been booking a few flights with Wizzair and have noted Cardiff now appears on their destination map from Budapest and Debrecen - but no flights bookable....are they already known about 'specials', new routes or simply a route map error? Just wondering if regulars on here knew amything?
If they are new flights, Brexit hasn't put Wizz off the UK at all, with new routes and increased frequencies also being launched from LTN, BHX, EDI and DSA this winter.

It would be good if CWL did secure a regular flight or flights with Wizz Air now that they seem to be expanding in the UK, who knows !

Thanks for the replies - shame they are just one offs....hopefully you will see regular Wizz flights in the future.. I never thought they would come to my local (BHX) but they did and now operate 7 routes, no bad considering their fortress hub Luton is just down the M1 so never say never!

The route will be 3 daily on Mondays and Tuesdays, 4 daily on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays the extra flights are on these days. 1 daily on Saturdays and 2 daily on Sundays.
The times for the extra flights are EDI-CWL 11.30-12.55 CWL-EDI 13.25-14.50.
Paris, Dublin, Cork, Belfast and Jersey are unchanged.

Does anyone know when the Ryanair flights to/from Malta go across to the new Ryanair owned Malta Air ? Would we be expecting anything new from Ryanair for 2020 ?
I’m guessing BCN & AGP will be back and hopefully FAO too with that new deal. Just hope TFS remains in some shape and form with Ryanair.
Would be nice to see them further increase their offerings in the coming months especially for Summer 2020

For % share of departing seats Cardiff Airport is the highest in the country. 86,000 departing seats will be lost.

Greenwash in the extreme.
The effects of removing plastic straws and introducing LED lighting are close to zero compared to the emissions from the aircraft using the airfield. The only sensible aviation policy right now it LESS aviation, and I don't see Cardiff Airport promoting that.

Yes let's have less cars travelling up and down the M4 through the Brynglas tunnel now the wonderful Welsh government has cancelled the proposed expansion ! Wales needs a vibrant Cardiff Airport to give greater choice and competition to the consumer.

M4 expansion won't effect Cardiff airport. Lack of flights and airlines will and APD not being devolved will but not the M4 expansion. If any road should be built its a direct airport link to the M4.

With the sad loss of Thomas Cook this is just going to leave TUI as the main and only holiday left at CWL.
Not just at CWL but at other regional airport surely there must be a void that needs filling. I wonder if we will see some new flights with Ryanair or dare I say (and hope) Jet2. There are also a lot of comments (or rumours) about Wizz Air UK doing new flights to previous Thomas Cook destinations such as the Canary Islands.....
No doubt the excellent Thomas Cook crew could do with some happy news about possible opportunities 💛

With TUI I could maybe see them adding extra flights to Dalaman and Antalya maybe using Freebird and maybe Tenerife with Norwegian if that could be possible and maybe Rhodes with one of the based aircraft and possibly add an extra PMI. It would fantastic if one of our flights, maybe PMI got upgraded to a Dreamliner but thats just me dreaming as part of a W pattern with Bristol.
Also if capacity to the Eastern Mediterranean is less that could also make Spain more attractive boosting routes like Malaga where we have 2 airlines.
Hopefully Ryanair and Flybe will release their Summer 2020 schedules soon so we know what capacity Cardiff will have.
As for Jet2 I could see them taking the Air Tanker A330s for Manchester and Stansted to free up 737s for elsewhere but not for a new base and I'd have thought that they'd go to Bristol first but not for a while yet.

I think you missed my point which is more choice and flights from CWL will hopefully mean less car journey's to and from BRS

Ryanair S20
Ryanair’s Summer 2020 offering from CWL is currently being loaded onto their booking systems (up until the end of July).
It’s much the same as this year, just without TFS
2 x weekly BCN
2 x weekly MLA
3 x weekly AGP (from June)
2 x weekly FAO

Didn’t Ryanair announce BCN, MLA & AGP quite late for this season ? With that in mind we could see something else added for Summer 2020....shame about the TFS loss, also with MT going there’s a big drop in capacity to the Canary Islands.
