It’s interesting they’ve not gone for a night operation. Although getting freight out through brynglas at say lunchtime is still easier than bringing it the other way during late afternoon.

Assuming it goes through the tunnel. Depends entirely on where the freight is being shipped to.
Has anyone seen anything official from the airport about this route?

The majority of the cargo is believed to be fruit and veg. Would find it unlikely if it was all staying in wales.

Where does that info come from?
It also depends on who the customer is.

From the press release / Egyptian gazette:
As part of EgyptAir Cargo’s strategy to support Egyptian exports, the company will also launch services to Cardiff, UK, with the start of the winter season, creating a new destination for Egyptian vegetables, fruits and other products

"The service will primarily carry fresh produce, including Egyptian vegetables, fruits, and other products destined for European markets"

The DCs for Tesco and Asda are ambient depot not produce. Their produce depots are at Avonmouth. There is an Aldi DC in Cardiff as well. There's also a Sainsbury's depot in Bristol, Lidl in Avonmouth and Morrisons in Bridgwater.

Which is why I think a lot of it will be going east.
