I really am starting to get a bit annoyed by baby now, I fly on CWL-GLA every Thursday and Saturday and I always use it as a so called business day return but instead of ramping up Palma they could have sorted this one out instead! Looks like it won't just be me going to BRS and having to use ezy from march now that this is just once per day. Another thing that annoys me is the Welsh accent at BRS on flights like AMS!

And murcia?! Yes its a good route, but what about Rome or even Lisbon? Why can't they show a bit of innovation and try focusing on this so called base a bit more? Now that they have 9, yes 9, based 737s at BHX (with 5 daily Glasgow returns) and just 3 a/c here we all know where their interests lie. I'll make a point of never flying with them again because if they hadn't bothered coming here in the first place with such fanfare maybe we could have had a proper investment by Flybe then. Baby are pathetic and show no vision whatsoever, and the abomination that is the CWL management they need to be chucked out soon, because they have lost my business.

So whos going to operate a Rome route now? And paris, well that was just a joke anyway looks like the airport think thats not important anymore either. Looks like their wishlist will remain just that a piece of paper to ward off ever increasing criticism.

New Routes
 

Its good to see support for CWL Flower and TA. Heres another thought to ponder. If an airport gets a dominate airline EZY RYR or the like it could damp off interest CWL has attracted several different airlines a good case of not all your eggs in one basket. Flybe are trying BHD and may well look at other routes but only using a Dash 8 that limits the oportunitys (sorry guys do not know the performance of a Q400). Airlines have to plan well in advance for any new route. I start this week planning slots for winter 07 and the airline i am currently with already have an outline timetable for summer 08 as well. Operating between point A and B is a culmination of a lot of elements. A/c crew maintenance slots marketing etc etc.... If an operator is going to start ORY this summer then slots have just been finalised. As per Bmed this could be a holding route. Flybe some years ago operated an EXT-LGW twice daily with a Navajo just to hold the slots. Slots at major airports are worth a lot especially at peak times i hark back to Air Wales operation into CDG this was using a Bmi mainline slot that was avaliable at the time. CWL airport long live the wish list keep up the improvments and you never no what may happen!
