Apparently it was over a PSC discount issue with the airport however personally I am suprised by this drastic move as I thought the route has always done well.
What with the demise of Air Wales, surely this is a better time than any for BA to return to Cardiff in the form of BA Connect?
Just saw this on Irish TV in the Headlines it said that the service will staop in may and is due to cardiff airport raising PAX fees by 350%
But on a brighter note Aer Arann will start a twice daily service bet cardiff and Dublin the day FR stop.

A full service by Ba at more UK regional airports would be appreciated.
I believe that if a BA MAN-DUB service would be excellent and be profitable, but cardiff os underserved and is difficult to get to and aleays expensive from DUB, indeed Ireland in general
