The UK’s number one domestic airline and Europe’s largest regional airline, Flybe, just announced that it is the largest carrier at Cardiff Airport in terms of weekly aircraft movement. This means that Flybe has more flights arriving at and departing from the airport than any other airline or tour operator.
Flybe had just started operating to and from Cardiff about two years ago. However, over those two years, Flybe has flown by all of the other carriers to become the busiest airline at the whole airport. In fact, the airline has 122 movements per week. This is actually ten more than the previous front runner bmibaby.
Flybe now operates seven routes from the airport, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast City, Paris, Newcastle, and Jersey. However, their newest launch, which is Aberdeen, is the one that brought them up to seven routes.
On top of this, Flybe had just recently made public that, following the publication of the CAA April/May statistics, it is now confirmed as the UK’s number one domestic airline. This means that it carries more passengers in the UK domestic marketplace than any other airline. In fact, Flybe does have more domestic flights at Cardiff Airport than any other airline – more than twice as many as its nearest rival bmibaby.
Cardiff Airport’s head of air service development, Spencer Birns, said that they are very please to see how well Flybe is doing at Cardiff. It is now offering a very wide range of routes and frequent flights to destinations all over the UK and Europe.
