Hello:
I just downloaded for FS2004 flight plans TUI Airways. I noticed EGDX. I didn't know that St Athan serves for airline. I checked Google Earth. I cannot find the terminal parking gate. It looks very odd to me. I found two line marks B737 just east of the main taxiway in the middle from the main runway. I don't know if they are using bus shuttle to pick up or drop off passengers for TUI flights? Is that true schedule flight in St Athan?
Let me know.

Perhaps an aircraft being put into storage or being scrapped ?
Do you have the registration of the aircraft ?

No, Look I said that I just downloaded for the flight simulator schedule flight plans. It shows Birmingham and St Athan. Is that true flight schedule to/from St Athan? I wasn't sure if real life flight there or just error by an author who created flight plans. I wasn't too sure about those flights.

No, a quick google search shows St Athan is a former Royal Air Force base without scheduled air service.
TUI fly to Cardiff (EGFF).
However, in real life, TUI have an MRO agreement with Cardiff Aviation, who are based in St Athan, so would make sense to see the occasional 737 there.

As mentioned, the odd TUI jet does drop into Cardiff Aviation in St Athan now and again. The majority of traffic there though is for part out.

Cardiff Aviation have a maintenance contract with TUI covering 767, 757 and 737.
E-cube solutions are also based at St Athan for aircraft scrapping.
BA recently sent a few of their last 767's to St Athan for scrapping
