Holding off is the best thing the management can do right now, in my opinion. It may not bode well for pax figures or how the airport appears to be spending taxpayers money, but CWL has been burned SO many times before that waiting this one out is probably the best thing they can do.
The Senedd cannot be seen to throw money at airlines like the Tees Valley mayor seems to enjoy so much (during a global pandemic)...
Agreed. I have a feeling that money isn't being thrown at Airlines like at other Airports for that exact reason.
