Isn’t it a Boeing only facility? 🤔

Anyone manage any snaps of it?

CWL featured in the latest edition of Airliner World with a six page spread about its recent progress to 1 million pax, start of YYZ route and the future for the airport

Rumours suggest that Cardiff could be host to next years BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend music festival (normally weekend of spring May bank holiday) I remember when it was in Swansea back in 2018 and Taylor Swift flew into CWL from the USA on a 767 and then helicoptered to Singleton Park. Such an...

Someone been taking lessons from WalesOnline? :rolleyes: No positive spin in that FR serve ALC throughout the winter - so there’s essentially no loss of the main route, besides the drop of a handful of AGP flights.

This was the second time within 2 months - the last being on 22 June due to a storm taking out essential ATC systems. Airport closed and planes grounded after thunderstorm (BBC News, 22 June 2026) It does seem to grind to a halt all too frequently, albeit most of the reasons being unavoidable...

Passengers ‘frustrated’ after Bristol Airport suspends flights for 14 hours

A few diverts heading into CWL from BRS due to an overhead airfield storm, mainly Ryanair’s

I believe it’s the amount of people using the actual station for arrival and/or departure - so statistically it’s half that figure. Likely therefore to be much less of a % of the total passenger figure. Of course not all station users will be heading to the airport itself and doesn’t account...

RCIA railway station was the 14th most used airport link station in the UK this year. 🚆✈️ I’m sure if the rail link was more frequent that number would be much higher! 🤞

Is this service still on an hourly basis? If so this is not likely to be used in droves, however is a positive step nonetheless. Can't help but think the return of the T9 would be a better solution, however more than likely not sustainable in the winter months. :unsure:
