The state of Cardiff Airport ??????

Thu May 17, 2012 9:02 pm

What has gone wrong there??

Just started watching a sky plused week in week out, BMI gone, no decent flights ??

I remember flying from Bristol about twenty five years ago it was like someone's front room, how the he'll has it over taken Cardiff Airport.....

VT when you've sorted out City can you sort the airport out.


Ps no one will give a feck what colour you paint it, it can be Redif you want.

The management need to sell up and let a owner do something with it. I can remember Bristol Airport being two living rooms and a ktchen!

Basically the owners never invested money into the airport and also the owners charge higher surcharges to ALL airline companies to land their planes there ...... althought they ofcourse deny this but the facts are easy to see by the now empty car parks there in the summer months and less and less routes plus NO low cost budget airlines !

I'm flying from Cardiff in July hopefully it's dead there flying with thomsons although the airport does look like dive, what more could you want as a passenger arrive at a airport, no queues no bumping into people couldn't want more in my view.

If you do find a direct flight, cheaper than Bristol, you've still got the ball ache of getting there. The roads are shit, Culver x, 5 mile lane or pendoylan. It's a f@#$ing joke. The welsh assembly had the choice to make major improvements and new roads along one of these routes last year and they bottled it, instead opting to improve the existing roads. All they've done is put a mile long cycle lane along port road. Big improvement :roll:

I can remember recent plans to build a new airport in Newport. Its laughable now as we cannot fill the airport that we currently have. Oh wait a minute, thats a bit like extending our stadium when we can only muster a 23,000 crowd for a playoff semi final or am I missing something?
