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
 
Tesco, Asda, and Lidl, have all got large distribution centres this side of the Severn Bridge.
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.

Heads Up!

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?
LBA: B737-300 G-GDFK empty down to Paris at 16:15 to operate the return LS268 back to Leeds 20:00 ETA where it will then operate the delayed LS265 to Malaga 20:40ETD
