Cardiff
Airport is
the international airport for Wales. Cardiff Airport serves the city capital of Cardiff and the south of Wales. Cardiff Airport is served by scheduled, low-fare
and charter carriers. It also supports corporate and general aviation.
Cardiff International Airport is owned by TBI plc, a subsidiary
of Abertis airports.
Cardiff Airport is the main maintenance base for
British Airways and home to a variety of aerospace-oriented firms,
and therefore a major contributor to the economic development of the
region.
Cardiff International Airport attracts around two million passengers
a year, according to the UK Civil Aviation Authority and airport statistics.
In October 2004, the Cardiff International Airport was named as one of the top ten
best airports in the world, by the Telegraph Travel Awards.
For 2006, new long
haul destinations included Vancouver, Canada; Cancun, Mexico; the Dominican
Republic; and Egypt. New European destinations include Naples, Galway and Lorient. New UK designations are Manchester and Newquay.
Cardiff International Airport has been home to a number of independent
airlines; most notably during the 1950s through to the early 1990s, with
airlines such as Cambrian, Airways International Cymru, Amberair and
Inter European Airways, making this Vale of Glamorgan airport their home
base.
Cardiff International Airport is located in the village of Rhoose, in the Vale of Glamorgan, approximately twelve
miles west of the city of Cardiff. Cardiff Airport lies in an area, dubbed by the
Welsh Assembly Government as a centre for aviation excellence, with several
high-profile aviation companies being located in a small radius. On the
airport site British Airways has its major long-haul maintenance facility
and Barry College has an avionics and engineering
training centre just outside the terminal building.
Rhoose Cardiff International Airport railway station opened in June 2005 on
the Vale of Glanmorgan Line - linking Cardiff Central with
Bridgend. The train station is linked by a local free bus service to
the airport from the train station and vice versa. A bus service also
links Cardiff to the airport.
By road, the airport is located 10 miles from junction 33 of the M4 Motorway,
in the village of Rhoose in
the Vale of Glanmorgan.
