Cardiff – New York flights ‘worth £200m a year’
18.03.12
Direct flights between Cardiff and New York could increase North American investment in Wales by more than £200m a year, Wales Online reports a previously undisclosed Welsh Government report has revealed. The document also shows a four-times-a-week transatlantic link has the potential to increase Welsh exports to North America by some £42.7m a year.
The figures are based on the assumption that the introduction of a service between Cardiff and New York would bring an extra 10,000 business visitors to Wales each year. The 2009 report was produced for the Welsh Government by the University of Glamorgan’s Wales Transport Research Centre.
