Its good to see Cardiff finally get a direct and regular long haul route from its airport because for an airport serving the capital and largest city of Wales along with the whole country, its regular routes were quite minimal and restricted mostly to Europe. It may be small but theres definitely a lot of potential and space for future expansion (it could eventually reach the likes of Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Bristol etc if it goes in the right direction), hope it happens in the future.
Absolutely, great for the whole of Wales and West of UK 😊 Me too, would be such a shame if they discontinued the route, but let's hope not! Thanks for watching 😃
Fantastic isn't it, apparently they flew the A350 to inaugurate the route because the wings were made in Wales 😃 Yeah, I can't wait to see the 787 next time I'm at CWL! Thankyou so much for watching 😊
Thankyou Dan, I am really pleased with how the video turned out to be fair, especially considering how quickly I edited it to try and get it uploaded asap! 😁 It's so good to see them there! Do you think? I hope it does well either way! 😊
Good question, I think mainly it is a runway issue, the runway at Cardiff is a lot longer. Although, I think they could still use BRS since the 787 does on much longer routes, I am not sure to be completely honest 🤔 Would've been so good to have them at Bristol! Thankyou for watching Mark 😁
the pilot that flew the first cathay a350 to dublin was was irish and a Dub like me. lol, and the flight out to hong kong the pilot was ausse. i was listening on live atc and was expecting him to say good day mate and that is exactly what he said ha.

I totally agree with you, it certainly could. Let's hope it heads that way! Thankyou for watching 😊
i dont think it will touch Manchester but the rest defo
Great for our great city . I hope people use this service now .

What a great way to inaugurate a route, plus the Dreamliner will also be a pleasure to see! Liked it very much!

I might take Qatar next year 2019 to Cardiff-Doha-Clark
I would if you can get a good deal for sure:D Thanks for watching the video 😀
i love videos with coms, you managed to get better coms even when i was 20 feet away from yous lol, great video though
Thankyou 😀 Haha 😝 I always try to get ATC if I can because I feel it adds to the video. Thanks again!
Excellent video! Really cool to see this inaugural capture! Nice job my friend! Liked!
Thankyou atlubeck 😁 Thanks a lot for the like too, I really appreciate it!
Awesome video when this was filmed I was doing something in welsh :(
Thankyou very much 😆 It departed at about 16:00 local time. Thanks! 😁
Nice one glad you and JW had a good day.
Thankyou very much 😊 Yeah we had a fantastic day!
Awesome video Archie, nice to see Cardiff so busy! Liked.
Thankyou 😁 Yeah it was really busy actually, definitely going to go there spotting more often 😆 Nice bit of variety. Thanks again!
Why don't they fly to Bristol .? Bigger airport. Busier

You wouid think Turkish Airlines wouid be at Bristol at least !
Yeah that would be soooo cool! We can hope 🙏
Curtis Whyte more likely due to the fact that there aren’t jet bridges or other arrangements. Bristol is doing much better than Cardiff
Wasn’t expecting a British Pilot to be fair.
Me neither, it took me by surprise! Thankyou for watching 😊
Mraviationguy I have since read he was Welsh and was chosen by the CEO to fly the inaugural!
Oh really? 😲 I definitely did not expect that, that's awesome! Wow 😃
