Wales is not a huge international destination, and as its stands, business people will travel internationally via another airport such as Heathrow or Gatwick. Although, this may change, as Patrick Duffy who is the new managing director of Cardiff Airport states that this will not be the case for much longer.

Duffy who was speaking to the Western Mail, recently commented that ‘Cardiff Airport has an opportunity to enhance its contribution to the economic and social well-being of the nation. There are ways we can look to do that – for example do we define ourselves as a regional airport in the UK, or a national airport in Wales? Can we be better connected with other capital cities in the world? Of course we can. In strict classification terms, we are just one of many regional airports around the UK. But spiritually we need to adopt more of a national outlook.’

However, this type of expansion to Cardiff will be determined by their new marketing campaign, which has been launched online at www.youwouldifyoucould.co.uk, which will attempt to find out how high the demand for an International Airport in Cardiff actually is.
