How many more tens of millions, maybe hundreds will be wasted on this WG vanity project before the plug is finally pulled and they admit defeat? Will they admit defeat? Or will the rest of Wales have to subsidise this loss making monstrosity in perpetuity because "Cardiff needs an airport because it's a Capital see?"
Less passengers than Exeter, Norwich or Doncaster.

Says all you need to know about Drakeford's anti business, anti infrastructure and green policies. Still people will still get labour even after 20 years of failure since devotion.
Back on train today after watching the Swans last night. Just hope they finish the heads of the valley route in the next 3 years even if it will have a 50mph speed limit. |  |

Look on the bright side, there are no queues at Cardiff airport, because nobody is there. |  |

Flown twice from there this year, only one flight going out.
And on the return one flight only coming in, and you still have to wait 45 minutes for your luggage.
It needs a massive shakeup |  |

I fly a good few times a year and haven't flown from cardiff for probably 10 years, the flight options are poor and more expensive that other airports. A total restructure of the airport is required if they want passengers to return. | |

Yes but at who's cost, the taxpayer and if so why ? | |

Talk of restructuring is fine, but there's only so many five year plans we can go through before it becomes an exercise in futility.
They're being subsidised to compete with Bristol Airport and they can't even manage that. | |

35 years ago, Bristol was little more than an outbuilding and a runway.
Cardiff didn't secure Easyjet and Bristol did, the rest is history.
Look at the difference in the airports now | |

Dickford and the rest of the WAG have been shown to be totally incompetent,failures, yet 20 odd years after devolution and the promises that have NEVER materialized the sheep of Wales still vote for being the poorest part of the UK.

I know this will come as a surprise, but not every airport flies to everywhere.
So the answer is, as for everyone, it depends where i am going.
I always use Cardiff airport if i can, and i hope you do to.
Its closer to my house, see … | |

Where they are going doesn't seem to be a dependant factor for most Welsh air travellers, most choose not to use Cardiff. That's why Rhoose airport is a money pit and costing Wales tax payers tens of millions in subsidies.
Every passenger that goes through Cardiff airport costs the Welsh tax payer £7, that's what the figures were last year.
The Senedd needs to stop making decisions based on idiotic Cardiff centric ideology and start making wiser business decisions. | | | |

So before the Welsh Assembly (who I detest) I'm assuming you blame the Conservative for the terrible state of the country. I suppose we deserved that? |  |

Poor location with dreadful transport links. Poor facilities.
Lack of schedule that links into major airlines for long haul.
Limited low-cost and lack of large holiday companies. Liverpool is comparable but has upgraded.
Needs some real out-of-the -box thought. Shuttle flights to Manchester would allow connections to all the big Asian/Middle Eastern and many North American Airlines.
It’s how US regional airports and places like Bordeaux operate linking to CDG and Schipol | | | |
