Cardiff Airport ‘talking to Emirates’
07.06.10
Cardiff Airport is negotiating with Emirates – a key target for some time - to launch direct service to the airport, due to increasing demand for flights from Wales to the Middle East according to press reports. The airport has said that it would need some ‘assistance’ from the Welsh Assembly to get such as service under way, presumably route development grants.
Emirates has one of the most comprehensive networks of any non-UK carrier into and out of Britain with services to Heathrow and Gatwick, as well as Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Newcastle. Noting Emirates’ recent increase in routes, Steve Hodgetts, the airport’s Business Development Director, stated ‘we know that eventually Emirates will go on the expansion trail.’
