Boost for Cardiff Airport as low-cost carrier Ryanair returns after eight-year absence
May 15, 2014

Tickets go on sale today for Ryanair's new winter service to Tenerife. 'We're really excited about this route,' says Dublin-based airline

Ryanair has confirmed it is return to Cardiff Airport with a new route to Tenerife

Cardiff Airport has received a significant boost with Europe’s biggest low-cost carrier Ryanair confirming it is investing in a new route to Tenerife – which if successful could pave the way for it adding more destinations.

The Dublin-based airline is returning to Cardiff Airport after an eight-year gap with the launch of a once-a-week route in October to the Spanish resort – a service which is projected to support 15,000 passengers annually.

If, as expected, the route is a success, Ryanair could potentially add further destinations from Cardiff as part of its European-wide summer schedule for 2015.

The airline, which last year handled nearly 80 million passengers across Europe, last operated from Cardiff with a route to Dublin which ran from 1996 to 2006.

It is confident that its new route from Cardiff to Tenerife will at least achieve its network plane occupancy average across Europe of 80%.

Join the scrum when boarding!

Looks like Cardiff airport is finally starting to get its act together since the welsh government stepped in...although I expect browny to disagree with me if he sees this thread lol

could do with them doing a flight from belfast to cardiff,flying into bristol and busing it across is a pain in the ass, a simple flight home is all i ask after a weeks work fs

To Hanover please

you can fly from belfast to cardiff cant you?

Belfast was with Flybe, not sure if anyone else has taken over the route.

Good news but 1 flight a week from Ryanair wont make a huge difference.

Yeah hopefully, Tenerife will almost certainly sell out every flight the Thomas Cook and Thompsons one were always very popular. Im glad I dont have to work at teh airport anymore though, BMI baby was bad enough nevermind Ryanair lol

Don't hold your breath its one flight per week and I'm still waiting for the services of the A380 after that landing last year!!!

This is once against pure proganganda by the WAG because everyone now knows that the pruchase of the airport is a complete waste of Welsh taxpayers money.

What would be interesting is to see if Ryanair are actually paying anything towards this or is it a freebie excerise especially after the way they were treated the last time they where at Cardiff. It would have taken something financial for them to change their minds about returning.

If they can make money then Ryanair will deff put more flights on. We just have to use them

I thought Flybe had completely pulled out but they must still be doing the Belfast route. I havent paid much attention since I left to be honest.

Always been the problem with Cardiff Airport unfortunately

Agree, I think the airport is in the wrong place also, it should be nearer the M4 corridor.

The Welsh government should have had the ball's to close Cardiff airport (Sorry I mean Vale of Glamorgan airport) and invest in the much talked about severnside Intl Airport (where LLanwern steel works land was) - but like usual bottled it and invested in a dud airport which is located in the wrong place with crap transport links - (the lunatics are running the asylum).

But, they now have another chance, maybe with the closure of Uskmouth power station land?

Blooobirds Forever !!!

I'm not flying with that Irish wxxxxxxker

I have also supported the idea of the Sevenside International Airport and what annoys me is that the WAG spent millions on getting Independant bodies to look at the idea, months later they come back with very positive feedback and just days after that the WAG buy Cardiff Airport!!!!! Absolute Labour idiology that the Government should run everything including Airports yet its madness and we are the ones who are paying for it!!!
