CWL Statement
Spencer Birns, Interim CEO at Cardiff Airport said:
“Following the news that Jet2 will be launching a base at Bristol Airport, we want to reassure our customers that we continue to speak with airlines to secure routes at Cardiff Airport, and are doing everything that we can to ensure the long-term viability of the Airport given the current circumstances.
“COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the global aviation industry, and the ongoing travel restrictions in place continue to hamper the industry’s recovery.
“We look forward to our airlines resuming their flights from Cardiff Airport in the near future, with many holiday flights now on sale for the summer season.
“We continue to maintain regular dialogue with airlines regarding route development, and we expect to be able to offer sufficient choice for our customers as we move towards recovery.”
Textbook answer maybe because they simply have no leads and no money to throw at airlines...?
