Cardiff Airport to get Government funding
20.02.09
Cardiff Airport is in the final stages of securing 'significant funding' for the extension of its passenger capacity, the Western Mail reports. Officials from the airport have met with the Welsh Assembly, as it looks to rival Bristol Airport as the region's premier international departure point.
Particular emphasis has been placed on the airport's poor rail and road links and its inability to attract major European airlines. Steve Hodgetts, Cardiff Airport's business development director, believes that more people will use the airport as the number of flights increase. He told the newspaper: 'From our point of view, we want to serve the Welsh market. For us, our biggest aim is to steal people who go to Bristol, and get them to come here.'
