Cardiff Airport says it is enjoying a busier summer than last year thanks to expanded services.
Travellers can now fly direct to nearly 30 destinations, connecting to over 150 global locations with just one stop in Amsterdam – including long-haul favourites such as Dubai, New York, Toronto, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Airlines have responded to rising demand with enhanced schedules and more frequent flights from Cardiff:
-
Ryanair: Largest-ever Welsh summer schedule with regular flights to Alicante, Dublin, Faro, Malaga, and Tenerife.
-
TUI: 22 destinations and 45 weekly departures.
-
Vueling: Up to 5 weekly flights to Malaga and 3 to Alicante.
The airport received feedback on their new Next Generation Security Checkpoint, which is streamlining the screening process thanks to state-of-the-art technology. Passenger numbers are on the rise, with figures up 15% at the end of May in this financial year compared to 2024/25.
Lee Smith, Head of Business Development at Cardiff Airport, said:
“It’s great to see the terminal so busy with passengers enjoying our upgraded facilities. We’re consistently hearing how easy and welcoming the Cardiff Airport experience is, which is something we’re extremely proud of. Our strong focus on customer service is well received by passengers, and it’s encouraging to see airline partners responding to the growing demand. The route development team is actively working with both existing and prospective airlines to bring even more choice and connectivity to Wales’ Airport.”
