Indeed Twin Aisle with a touch of Balsamic Vinegar :E

Sorry if ive upset you, but that is just what ive been told directly by what i'd call a credible source. Planeman

Does anyone have any information on any new routes oute of CWL (not CO to Newark) Coming up. What about Emirates to DXB Or would BRS be more likley than CWL. :ok:

yes, the day after co start ops from Cwl, Virgin Galactic will operate daily scheduled route to moon from Brs, ( i think i may have the same reliable source you have) !!!!!!!:ok:

HAHAHA Really funny (Im being sarcastic) thats just stupid but a A330 to the southwest of the UK CWL or BRS is not that unlikley.

Not sure what you question is there planeman?, A330 already operates out of Cardiff every summer to Florida courtesy of Monarch.

The Dubai one comes up every few months, I think it has to run a complete cycle every now and then :8

Flower - the A330 i was reffering to was the one of Emirates flying to DXB.

Planeman if you do a search on Cardiff you will see that Dubai and Emirates comes up as a regular topic, it has been around for as long as I have worked at Cardiff which is over 6 years now and probabaly even longer than that
There was a time last year when it seemed highly probable, as to now I can't really say but there has been no further news on the local rumour mill on that one either.

Planeman, can I suggest that you use the search function (on the menu bar above)....

There you'll find what Flower means when she says

Re new routes. A good place to start would be the Cardiff Airport plan, available on their website. Anyone looking to add services would be wise to use the airport's own data on what routes have a perceived business need. Same argument for EXT, BRS and any other airport....

(Edited to say, beaten to this comment by Flower!!!)

Tried the search icon not much luck. could anyone post some links please. The only one which i found directly relating to emirates in english was this one.:ok:

On cwl master plan pdf but cant find info on route development. Anyone please

Hehehe Twin Aisle I always liked the first and last word so what you expect ;)

From the Cardiff Airport website, go to "About Us", then Masterplan is the bottom item in the left hand menu....

Typing "Cardiff Emirates" in the advanced search yields pages of links to threads....

Re last word - this thread could run and run!!! :ouch:

Sadly i think you could be right, what ever happened to the yawning smiley ?
:zzz:

:ok: Ive found the masterplan but not new route details. Also if i type "Cardiff Emirates" the only thing that comes up is this thread. Any help on the matter.

Could anyone offer any help on my predicemant of the cwl masterplan on futre destinations. Planeman (Thanks):ok:

Can I suggest you spend some time reading it, before you ask us to spoonfeed you? There are loads of data in there, and with a bit of common sense, you will suss out quite quickly what the airport want....

Re search - have you asked the system to search all posts, not just the last month's worth (advanced search).

PS - why do you want to know all this info?

Dubai is developing faster than a Kodak film. Numerous apartments are being built, and money is no object. Developers are now starting to target monied private individuals in the West, and it won't be long before everyone wants to go there.
At that time, it will sustain flights from UK regional airports much as Almeria and Murcia do now. Because of the distance and the fact it's outside the EU, we can expect both UK and Dubai-based carriers to share the routes. I would expect it to feature increasingly, perhaps as a winter destination, in tour operators programmes, so expect to see it served by the likes of Britannia & Thomas Cook, as well as Emirates.

Well once the destination of dubai becomes more developed the route probably will attract charter airlines. The only holiday company that offers a full range of holidays in dubai is Virgin Holidays with Virgin Atlantic (highly unlikley to serve CWL)
Emirates however is a airline with a large fleet on order with 45 A380(not coming to CWL) 24 773er, 10 772lr, and with 18 A340-600HGW orders on hold. (and not sure if they have A330 on order). So with this ever growing larger fleet is this really unlikley.
And with serving London heathrow and gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow in the UK would not an airport such as CWL really be that unlikley. With others like NCL and EDI.
:ok: PlaneMan

Sorry, that's rot. Loads of companies do holidays in the UAE.

EK is a large and growing global airline. That does not mean they are eyeing up CWL. They have the whole world to play with, and FWIW, my guess is that they are getting close to saturation in the UK. They are double daily from BHX, and that puts the good people of South Wales within 90 minutes of a destination. They have great slices of the planet (and in Europe) where they don't have anything like that penetration, and they would probably go there first.

Can we get back to rumours with at least some basis in logic/hearsay, rather than pointless speculation on what we'd like in our dreams to see?

Infact i was talking about the Emirates rumour in a previous posting. While i agree that other 'specilised' holiday companys will sell dubaio holidays no mainstream agent (tompson, first choice, airtours, my travel, thomas cook, not counting the many more) does. and certanly not their charter airlines.:ok: So it would make sense for them to add maybe 3/4 extra UK destinations.
