The Cardiff Qatar is decried as a 'vanity project'. But so are make-up, car-ownership, and writing a comment without cliche.
Recently a member of our family used the service with colleagues to travel to India to setup a joint R&D project. Soon he'll be using the KLM service to do the same in Europe, again bringing work and money to South Wales. I must stop - it's vain to boast of such workaday achievements.
I assume all those who condemn the service as receiving an incentive from the airport never accept introductory inducements from utility suppliers etc.It would be so hypocritical to have your electric or netflix cross-subsidised by those paying the real cost plus.
