And weren't Wizz on the verge of announcing Cardiff to Katowice there a couple of months ago. Obviously they changed their mind at the last minute...

centralwings
 

where this news on centralwings cwl they should be shouting out about this news also do anyone know when the winter flights are out

I had seen these flights a few months back as well. But since then they seem to have disappeared. The mayfly isn't always that up-to-date.
As for GSM, they are having enough problems at the moment, it doesn't seem logical for them to start up in CWL as they are only well known in Scotland. Apparently their MAN long haul flights havent even been that succesful. It would be strange to start CWL during winter, or even next summer as we are so far south, risky waters for them, when they could concentrate on whats a very successful short haul program in Scotland.

I see baby have added a new Madrid route from Birmingham - but nothing for Cardiff in this latest announcement. Also Centralwings seems to have abandoned CWL yet again! It really is surprising that we at Cardiff have no new routes announced for the winter season - not one! And still the city route market from CWL is looking as sparse as ever! Lets hope the management have a trick up their sleeve especially with the impending Ryr Brs base.

Nobody wants to fly from Cardiff anymore, perhaps its because of the rude staff, sub standard facilities and the constant delays. Cardiff IAP will be a new housing estate in 5 years time!!!

Care to elaborate?

Obviously winter at CWL is done for now as its getting late for any new routes from our own based carriers never mind new airlines starting routes.

However as said before the winter is picking up, with baby on just about same frequencies, Thomson are doing a number of new routes or higher frequencies. BCN & FNC new. LPA now x2 wkly and TFS now x3 wkly.
Air malta are doing MLA once a week.
It might not be much, but its more than previous years!

Nobody wants to use it ?

Wow, thats good news, especially considering-
We dont have a based XL aircraft for this season, and that our low cost airline sector, hasnt seen that much growth. (From WW, and the loss ASW etc). And with recent security threats.

The Centralwings thing has been going around the Polish papers for a while, which is quite strange, especially being so specific about Cardiff. While as we know very well, if the media said it would happen, it doesnt actually mean it will happen. However thats not to say it unlikley.

babys milk
 

this is great news cardiff airport posted on there web site now selling baby milk when all other airports posting loads of new routes and airlines great in it

Haha does make you laugh doesn't it... I'm beggining to come around to the idea of renaming Bristol to Bristol-Wales airport. Well most airlines seem to consider that its fine having flights from Bristol because it 'serves' Wales at the moment.

winter
 

its like a poor winter for cwl what are they doin

Being led by the guardian i believe. Shows passengers experiences of queues at airport. How reliable this info can be is debatable. For some reason this week 3 times check in has taken 58mins. Very odd and accurate time figure!
All comments about the airport are very good though. So unless the baggage belts are playing up again, Cardiff actually fairs quite well!

I wonder where they receive theese figures from? I'm not aware of 58 minute check in delays as the a/c would go late.

I know the baggge belt had been playing up again this week with the belt gone down for approx 20 mins.

Outsourcing
 

Anyone heard the rumours I have seen on another Forum about talks between CWL and a big outsourcing agent about providing RFFS services? Is it true?

Cardiff doesn't have too much to worry about, it will always make it's money out of diversions from the landing strip across the water that was specifically built there to teach military pilots to operate in cr@p weather :)

You dangling....? I'm biting! "Cardiff doesn't have too much to worry about, it will always make it's money out of diversions from the landing strip across the water that was specifically built there to teach military pilots to operate in cr@p weather"
Which would you choose to spend your Welsh Development Agency money on? ILS CATIIIB or MLS!? Hmmmmm! (Stroking beard and has a pondering look on ones face!)
We will say hi to BMI Baby for you next time CWL are out! HA! :ok:

Hi,apparently every few years the RFFS out sourcing is reviewed.Basically to see if it would be cheaper for ie serco to take on the contract.Think Birmingham has gone over to them and a couple others.Cardiff`s RFFS have alot to do with op`s side of things which changes things.

new routes
 

anymore new,s on any new routes from cwl yet

Dunno but some fool, or maybe not! on Wiki assumes that Zoom will discontinue serving the airport from Vancouver as of next summer, true?

Well next year according to Zooms currecnt schedule there will be no Vancouver flight for nextyear and Toronto will go down to 1 weekly direct. So it could be right.
