Cardiff Airport Posted by Silvanus_Tauris on November 5, 2022

Cardiff Airpor is the busiest airport in Wales. It has been under the ownership of the Welsh Government since March 2013, operating at an arm's length as a commercial business. Passenger numbers were 1.66 million in 2019 and were increasing year-on-year. Since 2020, like most other airports, Cardiff Airport has suffered a major downturn in passengers due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Passenger numbers are now down to those experienced in the 1960s.
