It’s the time of year we can’t grow fruit and and a lot of veg outdoors here - so I don’t think the flights carrying a lot of it is out of the question. Strawberries, Onions and Potatoes can all come from egypt during the european winter.

Hopefully it doesn’t turn into a european air cargo situation where it’s supposed to be starting then never does.

Thats a shame they aren’t likely to be coming back. My vueling flight at the end of september was half full and perhaps 2/3 full on the way back. Ryanair will no doubt see the opportunity but whether it’s too late for a summer up gauge or not.

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

Be interesting to see if KLM up gauge, but i imagine not.

It won’t move the numbers substantially but we may see a few charters for the boxing in december?

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

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.

I was shocked at the amount and variety of destinations now available from SOU and BOH - i remember a time when these were minor airports in comparison to CWL. Not to mention you have Ryanair, Jet2 and TUI all at BOH.

It would be interesting to know where YYZ was on the list in terms of most popular unserved destinations (or served 1 stop). It must of been up there for west jet to think there was a market.

Now next year is on sale hopefully may and june will see better uptake.

Is your rolling year figure correct as it’s not gone up 140k since July if the total is 1,064,855? Am i missing something?

Can’t say i’m surprised when they took the risk of adding the 4th based aircraft this summer. It’s good that’s being kept on.

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.

Interesting Fuerteventura has gone - whats it been replaced with? Maybe if Vueling don’t return ryanair will jack up Alicante and Malaga.

Doesn’t seen unreasonable considering the economic benefits the route will bring.

What was the frequency for that and malta??

Did Ryanair fly to Barcelona pre covid? I just about remember malta now you mention it. bmibaby flying to secondary spanish cities Murcia and Almeria seems like a different world now.

In my opinion i think it’s unlikely the orange airline will ever operate the route but with their new PE backers who will want a 5-7 year turnaround on their investment and need quick growth it’s the closest to happening it’s ever been i’d say!

Was the issue with loganair though the base fare being too high due to the small aircraft? I heard of some fares being £300 return. £600 for a couple to go away for the weekend.
