That's already been mentioned further up. Along with a fans flight on a MalethAero A330.
 
So it looks like the Welsh football team will be departing to Riga at 06.30 10/9/23. There's also a 2Excel Aviation departure to Riga at 15.00.

Wales v Georgia, Nantes, Saturday, October 7, 2pm

Looking at the amount of flights per game, their looks to be at least 2 charters per game and with Volotea extra that should be 10 extra departures for the RWC group stage for the airport.
Hopefully the Jet2 aircrafts will be 757/A321s maybe even their A330 (wishful thinking?)!

Looks like we'll see a return of the Corsair A330!

Only realised today that in 15 days time i'll be flying to the Rugby World Cup with Volotea to Nantes to see Wales play Georgia!

Both Jet2 departures today were 737 800s, Volotea is an A320.
So far just on the dedicated RWC flights from Cardiff over 2000 fans have travelled to the Rugby World Cup. Of course more will be using KLM and Eastern Airways as well and i wouldn't be surprised if they are using Dublin and Belfast. I know fans have used Bristol and Heathrow and i've seen a post on social media of fans from the south using Manchester.

According to FR24 the Volotea aircraft that will be taking me too Nantes and the Rugby World Cup is EC-MTC a 19 years old A319.
 
Well i had a really good flight with Volotea to Nantes. Really nice crew and a good atmosphere onboard from the travelling fans and i believe the Captain was from Barry and it was his first time flying into and out of Cardiff Airport in the 10 years he had been a pilot. So needless to say it was quite good flying a Spanish airline, with French crew and a Captain saying Diolch yn Fawr (Thank you very much in Welsh) as we deboarded in Nantes! I will do a trip report when i get back from France.

The flights from Yerevan coming in tomorrow, which airlines are they and what kind of aircraft? I also note there's a Turkish airlines flight arriving next week. All football related?

There were 3 arrivals from Yerevan altogether.
Titan Airways A320 G-POWM at 00.05 pretty sure that would've been the team.
Then TUIFly 737 800 OM-NEX at 15.50 and Leav Aviation A320 D-ANDI at 16.50.
 
Anyone aware of any charters from Scotland for next week's Six Nations match in Cardiff?

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
