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