Cardiff Airport keen to benefit from Flybe’s new planes
23.07.10
New routes out of Cardiff Airport to European business cities could be on the agenda after Flybe announced it was investing in more planes. The regional budget airline already flies to 11 destinations from Cardiff, including Paris, Belfast and Edinburgh. It signed a deal today to buy up to 140 planes to allow it to expand in to Europe, with destinations such as Dusseldorf, Lyon and Frankfurt targeted as it looks to focus on the business market.
Steve Hodgetts, Cardiff Airport's business development director, said: ‘In light of the recent announcement by Flybe we are keen to examine the possibility of expanding the operation from Cardiff Airport to offer more routes and frequency to Welsh travellers. There is great demand for services to important business and popular leisure destinations in Europe including Germany and France, and Flybe would be ideal partners to work with. We would welcome any discussions with Flybe about how expanding the airline's operation could benefit Cardiff Airport and Wales as a whole.’
