Yet again a"lets knock Cardiff" post, what is it with folks that they seem to think its clever to do so.
Cardiff is a very different city today than it was 10 years ago, a vibrant exciting go getting city which requires a successful airport.
It is essential to build the M4 link from J34, it would then take minutes to arrive at the airport , unlike another airport to the west of us which takes for ever to get to.
A new terminal to cope with the increased demand will also help increase demand.
In the past maybe people could scoff at Cardiff but i think that will all change. Passenger figures have increased significantly, we are served by both Baby and Air Wales to numerous destinations.
The Welsh deserve an airport as much as any other, else wise the quickest option for us is to fly from Birmingham ( not Bristol it is quicker to get to Birmingham most of the time).
The terminal is a very different place this year than it was 15 months ago, we will succeed.
Thank you TwinAisle for explaining Baby's ridiculous decision to withdraw an Aircraft from Cardiff, lets hope Mr Davies can get things sorted with BMIs board to ensure that Baby can continue to grow at units where they are already doing well.
