So here we are, finally with a Wizz base. After the build up of about two years, you'd think today CWL would be using this as a perfect opportunity to plaster social media with all the fanfare, yet it's been silent, save for a single post this morning saying they had doughnuts and coffee. I've said this before and I'll say it again, CWL needs a new Social Media/PR team.

Wizz
Anyone how what the load factors are like for the Wizz flights? Be interesting to see the footfall increase at CWL (I know this doesn’t have a bearing on yield or profitability) just interested in pax numbers. Cheers.

I understand that it has been a combination of runway restrictions due maintenance and a strike by some staff. I'm happy to be corrected if I've misunderstood the reasons.

The airport operator of Amsterdam is asking all airlines to cancel flights (mainly weekend flights) to ease the pressure on the airport. Lack of staff (ground handling, car parking, baggage handling, passenger security) caused disruptions and the worst of it is expected on this weekend. Not a good sign before the summer peak period. Apparently most airlines/airports are having serious staffing issues, aka the icecream licks back.

Is this the end of Eastern at CWL ? It has been reported that they have removed the BHD flight from their schedule.
So does this mean no VLY being reinstated as the BHD service used the based J41 aircraft ?
I wonder if EI Regional will start BHD as a replacement as they were due to start before Stobart collapsed.
Or would Flybe be interested ??

The Labour-controlled Welsh Assembly promised an update would be given when possible, but so far nothing has been forthcoming (no surprise there!) - the Conservatives have been pushing for it to be reinstated, however the PSO contract itself is up for renewal next year so I personally can't/don't see it returning before then.

Eurowings are ending their PRG-BRS route as of mid June. Most probably due to EZY competition on the same sector.
Wishful thinking that CWL have enticed them here instead with no competition at all. BMI baby did quite well on the PRG route back in the days.
