About Cardiff Airport

Cardiff Airport is the only commercial airport in Wales and handles a mix of scheduled services, charter flights, and freight operations. Despite its potential as the gateway for a nation of three million people, it operates with relatively low passenger volumes due to competition from Bristol and the accessibility of London airports. Disruptions at Cardiff are frequently related to weather crossing the Bristol Channel or to crew and aircraft positioning from busier airports.
