It'll be interesting to see what the Welsh government does as this politically could untie their hands a bit in providing financial support for CWL.
The Senedd has always provided financial support to airlines in the form of "marketing" - or that's how they claim to have given the support in the past

Plus CWL has always been in a positive position overall as they are publicly owned and therefore has the public purse on hand, unlike many other airports. Just a shame at this stage they have absolutely nothing to show for having this "upper hand".

However, I would find it very difficult for Westminster to justify giving support to English airports that have multi-million/billion dollar offshore private owners...
