Bristol airport went from strength to strength and left Cardiff in its wake long before the government bought Cardiff airport.

there are definitely other things that I'd like to see at the airport, but it isn't going to happen overnight, and covid must have put any progress back years
Why didn’t they just let it fail completely then and pick it up for a lot less? Until they sort out decent access and a proper airline it’s going to continue its decline. I believe Bristol have made access far easier off the motorway too no? Used to fly from cardiff quite a bit (Prague, Amsterdam, Majorca, Ibiza ) but I haven’t even looked there for years, every time I do it’s a disappointment.
