Somedaymaybe,
I think you do not know as much as you claim to do. Travelcitydirect has rarely done a tech stop for fuel but flies direct. The runway is ample long enough for the traffic to depart fully laden
If it did a tech stop why then do we clear it all the way to Orlando, same as the Monarch and never receive an en route diversion message, because it doesn't happen.
BTW I would know as I am in the Tower not claiming to be in the LH or RH seat

Northwest do not operate DC10-10s. They have only ever operated the DC-10-40 and the DC-10-30.
The DC-10-40s are already in the desert and the DC-10-30s are just about to follow.

A fully laden 747 with fuel for a transatlantic crossing, would not lift from cardiff its impossible looking at performance for all types i.e -200/3/400, this again has been proven as the Travelcity to orlando has to reguarly go via shannon or dublin? dont quote me on the irish tech stop airport as i am unsure of the correct location i am just aware its one of them?
The runway is long but not that long!
Can i just add as well, if cardiff is all the things mentioned, why is it that continental chose BRS over CWL to operate there newark as well as the new long haul services from BRS with FCA and not cwl, plus ryanair pulled out due to a disagreement with the bods at CWL, and that was there most promising future as O leary had mentioned a possible hub at CWL doh! oh and another thing every welsh airline that has ever started has ceased trading!
CWL will always loose out now to BRS, because BRS can offer more, not just in terms of flights but also pax convinience and the willing to invest in its airlines.

CWL serves the purpose for it's catchment area, BRS has got nothing, absolutely nothing, to shout about with their damn short runway stuck up there on top of the hill and much of the time in cloud.
B747's, A330's, DC10's etc in & out of CWL, well compare CWL's runway performance to that of Lulsgate National
