A walk down memory lane when the old French Aviation Caravelles used to fly in for the French rugby charters back in the day. I can't quite remember which airlines flew in with this aircraft but they were very distinctive and always good to see them. They used to fly them from places like Toulouse and possibly Lyon.

Unfortunately all we'll see is A320 family and 737s i expect. I don't think there's any wide bodies scheduled this year.

Thanks for posting these. I remember JAT flying from CWL to former Yugoslavia during the summer months to Pula, Split and Dubrovnik and I think it was Aviogenex that carried on that route with 737s and 727s up until the war and eventual break up of Yugoslavia.
 
EM I remember Aviogenex using a TU104 from CWL to Yugoslavia it must have been in the late sixtees, if I remember correctly.

We counted 76 in total (12 x AF + 62 x Charters + 2 x Team Flights), alongside another 46 positioning flights.

A grand total of 122 additional movements between Friday and Monday, not including the smaller business charters handled by Global Trek on the south side of course.

Perhaps CWL quoted "62 additional" flights as referring to the charters besides the 12 Air France flights they mentioned in a separate accompanying post?

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
