Cardiff Heliport closing and opening again
Are you aware Bristol International have pulled out of Cardiff and therefore it's closing end of the month????
Shame since it's nice complex but expensive.

A great shame. It's one of UKs better helicopter facilities.
According to Wiki (and elsewhere), the heliport is owned by Cardiff Council. Veritair are 'just' the operator.
So, maybe if Veritair are moving out, a new operator can move in.

Was there today and can confirm it will be closed by BIH on 30th Nov 2014.
Cardiff Council should pull the lease. BIH still have 18 years left but with no one there its a white elephant. Shame!!

So who pays the penalties for the early release from the lease??
Great shame for the guys working there!! I only used them in earnest recently and they always rolled out the red carpet for me.
It will be a great loss to the industry!!!
Good luck chaps with your future.

Heard a rumour to support that idea!
It did close, yes. Sorry can't help with alternatives, but you don't say if it is just for landing, for fuel or what other requirements you have 101BOY that were previously available at the HP

Swansea is a gamble but Pembrey is always good though you might have to wait for a Hawk to finish off his training run before they let you in.
Otherwise Polo south of the Bristol Airport.
