Of course it's great news that Malta is back and that it is Ryanair that are operating that but if the airport is serious about getting above 2 million passengers again and if Ryanair is serious about Cardiff then more will be required.
If nothing changes then next year Ryanair will operate 3 routes and 5 weekly flights to Cardiff in the summer. The airport will need more than that so adding 2 or 3 routes from Europe's biggest airline coming to probably 4 to 6 extra weekly flights isn't putting over capacity at an airport like Cardiff considering the leakage out of it's area.
