international?

It was always known as Cardiff Airport so nothing new for the general public, but from an industry perspective this looks good. The website looks sleek, the brand itself with the incoporaiton of Welsh can only help to establish an identity. However, having just seen the artist impression on the BBC of the new look front of the terminal, it looks like once again future planning and any kind of ambition have not been included. Retail space is one thing but the airport needs more check-in desks and an expanded check-in area rather than a coffee shop but above all the airport needs new destinations, something the money could have been better spent on. Having to cross the bridge to get anywhere else in Europe beyond Palma and Amsterdam is getting very frustrating for the Welsh public. Connections to Germany, Italy, Belgium, France and the USA need to be established as a matter of priority.
