Plaid Cymru welcomed the announcement and said the airport needed to be a "shopfront" for Wales
It's located beside the coast in the bottom south-east corner of Wales, most travellers to Wales, south, mid and north will never get to see the "shopfront" because it's totally off the beaten tracks.
Mr Jones said: "Over the past 12 months, I have repeatedly emphasised the importance to Wales of a dynamic international gateway airport in Cardiff.
So they're going to move the airport to "in Cardiff" are they?
