I personally wouldn’t pick to go to the Canaries in the summer when rest of europe is available - FUE may do well as a winter only destination.
 
Not on the flight website when I checked it. Will have another look later. Thanks.
It looks like it comes up on the holiday site only. Always find that a bit annoying.

Interesting Fuerteventura has gone - whats it been replaced with?

Maybe if Vueling don’t return ryanair will jack up Alicante and Malaga.
TUI dropped Faro and Fuerteventura for the summer and added flights to Mallorca, Rhodes and Malaga.
 
Boards are getting terribly quiet the deeper we get into October 😒 just one TUI tomorrow afternoon. Thank god for FR I say!

It is the nature of the game unfortunately. It is a perfect storm for the aviation industry right now so we should treat any good news positively even if it is few and far between.

The unfortunate consequence of being so seasonal and sadly not having a domestic network anymore
 
Big remuneration payouts at the airport. But if they need a great team it’s something that will be worth it in the long run hopefully.

But a rise of £120k from the previous financial year is quite steep personally. Also the payout for former CEO Spencer Birns is very high as well.

Make of it what you will!

Well Cardiff Airport is a multi million £ business so if you want the best people then the renumeration needs to be adequate.
 
I see the airport has updated its website. A bit disappointed that for arrivals and departures it takes you straight to Flightradar24, rather than a list of flights arriving and departing for the week ahead. I also can't find the "latest news" they had on there too. What do others think?
 
I too felt disappointed by the new website, and thought there had been some kind of fault with the airport website, especially with FR24 on the arrival and departures section.
 
That's really disappointing as I often relied on the arrivals and departures board for exceptional flights especially around the French rugby airlift as FR24 isn't always reliable and doesn't show flights enough in advance.
 
Its a rubbish setup. For the general public just wanting to find out ETAs its very complicated. Especially if you're not familiar with FR.

Yeah it also can be inaccurate. Idk why they've changed it? Maybe it's cheaper just to have a link and not have a live arrivals and departures board?
 
It seems an odd move unless its designed to save costs as the scheduling data FR uses must come from the same place. Is there any other airport thats done this?
 
The website would never have passed ‘user experience’ in my company. Have they cut costs that much that an employees’ child has done this as part of a school project?
They should revert back to the previous website. It worked.

Heads Up!

Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man.... Landing is the first!
i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow
For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
Heatwave Mk2 next week?
Some explosive weather build-ups currently in the North of England. What is it like where you are?
