Vueling has withdrawn its scheduled winter flights between Cardiff and Alicante.
As reported by Cardiff Airport News & Information (CAN&I), Vueling, the Spanish operator, had planned to operate a three-weekly service to Alicante alongside a short season of flights to Malaga over the Christmas and New Year period.
A spokesperson for the airport said the decision was “disappointing”, but stressed that Alicante remains well served from Cardiff, with both TUI and Ryanair continuing to operate direct flights during the winter months.
Airport officials said they remain focused on expanding the choice of destinations available from Cardiff by working closely with airline partners to grow the route network.
Passengers who have already booked winter flights with Vueling are being urged to contact the airline directly for advice on their travel plans and to explore alternative options available from Cardiff.
A spokesperson for Cardiff Airport told Bro Radio, “We are disappointed that Vueling has taken the decision to withdraw its Cardiff to Alicante service for the winter season. “Alicante remains a popular destination from Cardiff, with TUI and Ryanair continuing to offer direct flights this winter."
"We remain focused on working with our airline partners to grow our route network and give customers across Wales greater choice from Cardiff.
“We would encourage any customers affected by Vueling’s decision to contact the airline directly regarding their booking and to explore the alternative travel options available from Cardiff.”
