Flybe 500,000th Cardiff Airport passenger
25.02.10
Flybe celebrated its 500,000th passenger from Cardiff Airport on Tuesday. Bridgend resident John Marsden, who flew on the airline's afternoon service to Edinburgh, was given a certificate commemorating the historic milestone together with a bottle of champagne.
In the short 22 months since Flybe began operations out of Cardiff, it has become the largest carrier at the airport with over a third of all scheduled departures operated by Flybe. It now offers a choice of up to 106 flights a week on seven routes - Aberdeen, Belfast City, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Jersey, Newcastle and Paris Charles de Gaulle.
Flybe’s Chief Commercial Officer, Mike Rutter, said: ‘We were delighted to celebrate our 500,000th passenger from Cardiff, less than two years after starting services from the airport. Despite the wider economic challenges thrown at everyone last year, we were the only scheduled airline to show growth from Cardiff.'
