As an addition to my previous thread it would appear that BMI may have got a contract to base a EMB145 at Hawarden to do 2x daily flights to Filton--Tolouse.
This looks like the mid day shuttle flight is to cease, this would appear to make sense as the mid day flights are poorly supported pax wise.

Eastern Airways currently op 3 x daily Monday to Thursday to Filton. WDL operate 1 x weekly Toulouse to Hawarden via Bristol (Filton), i/b Friday; o/b Monday. Is the new flight replacing all these flights with a twice daily Monday to Friday rotation from Hawarden to Toulouse via Bristol (Filton)? When is this to commence? I understood that WDL, who took over the contract from Privatair with first ops on Friday 4th April 2008, had a contract that was for a couple of years at least. Do you have any firm details (dates/timings etc)? Thanks. Dave Costello www.hawardenspotters.info |

Hi Jake, thanks for the info. As a matter of interest do you know what's happening with the current WDL service from Toulouse? Appears the inbound service is operating on a Thursday rather than a Friday recently. Thanks Dave www.hawardenspotters.info |

The last couple of Fridays have been Bank Holidays here in France, and the flight doesn't operate on any UK or French public holidays. When this happens the flight switches. In this case to a Thursday, on a UK Bank Holiday Monday, it changes to a Tuesday. Hope this helps.
