And we know why. Are you really blaming the airport management for Flybe and Thomas Cook collapse and a global pandemic?
You also need to realise that the company isn't just Cardiff Airport its also St Athan airfield and it's business park as well.
As for departures Exeter has 3 today, Norwich 2, Bournemouth 3, Southampton 8, Newquay 2 or 5 depends on Skybus, LBA 9, NCL 14 and DSA 10 according to FR24 most a lot lower than last year so CWL is not alone and yes will no doubt take a longer to recover than most of those airports.
