Cardiff-2
The 736 is about the only 737 variant that KLM don't have! (or ever have), AFAIK.
FR24 showed SOU as receiving 737's a few days ago, but Embraers turned-up as usual - so I think it's a glich.

We had 6 British Airways diverts in this evening.....A319, A320 & A321’s all parked up.....
Shame no widebodies but great to see CWL being used as a divert airport

Was told last night cwl would not get any widebodies as wx conditions for the runway was not suitable for loaded widebodies. Most of the lhr diverted widebodies went to mainland Europe.

Reported elsewhere that CWL did want to accept a JFK-LHR flight that went into the hold above CWL but it decided to divert to Dublin because it was to heavy to land in the conditions.

It’s been reported elsewhere that Iberia Express are expected to return for Summer 2018 with the MAD-CWL-MAD route operates with A320 aircraft - can’t see it showing at present on their schedule but good news there as loads were quite reasonable and promising for a new route.

It's good news for Cardiff. Cardiff needs the route to work and grow to attract other carriers on other city routes.
So far 2018 is looking like a good year for the airport with 4 new/returned routes, a daily wide bodied flight and some new one off charters as well and hopefully more to come from Flybe!

It’s great to have Iberia Express back & would have been surprised if they didn’t return in all honesty.
So what’s new so far for 2018?
> QR to DOH
> BE to VCE
> MT to AYT
> TOM to HRG
Plus BE to GCI & now IB to MAD returning.....let’s hope there is more to come.

There is still a slot in Flybe's schedule on Wednesdays for an E175. I roughly calculated the block time as suitable for as far Bordeaux maybe Inverness or Hamburg or the Rhine area. Though they could use it for an extra rotation for say Dublin or Dusseldorf or Edinburgh maybe. Case of wait and see.

A regional French destination would be a good fit for BE and CWL.
I have always said something like BOD, NCE, MRS, LRH or EGC would be good.
Plus also ideal range for the Embraer aircraft too.
Would also like PRG or MJV bacon on the departure boards as were very popular with BMI baby.

It would be nice to have a new French destination so fingers crossed!
Also Cardiff to Naples is Skyscanner's Unserved Route of the Week with 20,000 annual searches.
Next Italian destination for Flybe maybe? Or would even TUI consider a weekly service? Other options from the Naples end would be Easyjet it's biggest carrier or Ryanair it's second biggest carrier.

NAP ? Would have never thought that as being towards the top of the list of destinations. Would assume TUI more than BE ? Or even better FR who seem to be happy just to plod on with TFS & FAO (which is great don’t get me wrong) but would have thought they’d have tested the water with another destination.

There is already a weekly flight to Dusseldorf on Saturdays. So if Dusseldorf filled the gap it would go up to 2 weekly. I also believe a German tour operator takes an allocation on the flight as well.
