Responding to figures showing Cardiff Airport is the only one of the UK’s top 30 airports to have lost passengers between 2022 and 2023, Natasha Asghar MS, Shadow Minister for (position), said:
“Under the ownership of the Labour Welsh Government, Cardiff Airport is becoming a bottomless money pit for taxpayers.
“While the trend for other similar airports is an increase in passenger numbers, Cardiff Airport is moving in the opposite direction.
“Unless the Labour Welsh Government can deliver more passengers and routes at the airport, it will continue to be a financial black hole.”
