First Minister Carwyn Jones calls to ‘rebrand and refresh’ Cardiff Airport
Having returned from a week’s relaxing holiday in one of Europe’s most beautiful countries Spain, whose citizens are really finding their economic situation dire, I was really pleased to read in today’s Western Mail of our First Minister’s statement yesterday.
He acknowledged the need to attract foreign investment and grow trade if Wales is to succeed on the world stage. As a long-term supporter of our local airport, I was particularly pleased to hear of the plan to ‘rebrand and refresh’ Cardiff Airport in a bid to attract more passengers. Perhaps this initiative may excite the Airport’s Spanish owner to come up with some additional funds to support any Public Sector initiative by our Welsh Government.
I am afraid I used Bristol Airport last week even though I had to get up at 2:30am to catch the early flight to Malaga. So I would welcome a direct flight from Cardiff to Malaga for a few extra hours in bed before my next trip to refresh my body and soul at my favourite yoga retreat.
