Someone on the Eastern Airways webpage has referenced both BHD & DUB being possible new Eastern destinations from CWL.
They also refer to the recruitment advertised for CWL (prior to the coronavirus pandemic) Wishful thinking or a slight possibility?? |

[allan1987 , 28th Jul 2020 17:38 There is an order in for 4 ATR72-600 1 E190 (ER-ECC) has been painted white at East Midlands, 1 JS41 (G-MAJU) has gone to cranfield looks like G-MAJK (JS41) has been repaired and now back in service 1 E170 Still to come back from storage more likely to replace G-CDEB (S2000) the 2 E145 are up for sale think 2 new routes will be CWL-BHD and CWL-DUB There is only 2 ATR72's both are at SOU |
Yeah that’s the one, sorry I should have attached it to my posting......there is also another one where someone said about the E190 being based for Sun routes but guess that is a massive long shot hope or wish !! But in fairness the BHD & DUB could be a good shot for the airline but then given the current state of air travel who knows.

Sadly it seems for whatever reason CWL isn't a priority for many airlines at the moment. I'm sure though eventually the likes of Dublin and Belfast and Edinburgh will return hopefully at least by Summer 2021

with State aid rules potentially going next year when we have officially left the EU (trade deal pending), I wonder whether a small Air Wales v3 will appear? While I think there’s better things to spend money on and those in power would need to evaluate what happens with business travel etc, it could be an option.

As for a national carrier it would be nice to see an Air Wales again. |

But why. aviation is not a public service, like buses and trains, and if the Welsh government has money to waste on vanity schemes like that I feel sure that many people in Wales would feel there are more deserving causes it could be used for.

oh I know I agree and as I said there are better things to spend money on but, if connectivity attracts more inward investment, more job creation and there is a return to be made then it could be less a vanity project and waste to more a necessity that could get people out of the public sector (of which wales has a high proportion of public sector workers) and into the private. Obviously I don’t know the economics of running an airline and certainly not from CWL.

The reality is that the WG doesn't really have the fiscal powers to establish a national carrier. |
Any idea why the C130 Hercules from Ohio Air National Guard (164th Airlift Squadron) landed in Cardiff today?

Agreed - airport looks a bit of a basket case at the moment.....
|
Difference is that Bristol hasn't lost airline's that provided over have their daily movements between them.
|
Doesn’t change the reality though the airport is not looking viable......in the short/medium term. Guess Spencer running this ‘arms length commercial’ organisation will be hoping the WG have patience....,,
