Cardiff Airport gets a loan.
 
Quote:
Cardiff Airport is to receive a £10m loan from the Welsh government to make improvements to the site.

but

The Welsh government bought the airport for £52m in March!
:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Quote:
The money will be used for a new security area to accommodate new technology and more passengers, a new taxi booking service in arrivals and improved drop off and pick up areas.
So a room with a PC and some chairs in, a phone on the wall, and yet another change to the access road out the front? :confused:

I was there in May. The place is like a glorified bus station.

They have been fiddling with the place for years: new signage that cost a fortune, announcing it to be an airport (I wondered why there were those aircraft there); changing access routes to the front of the building (they now charge £1 just to allow a car to drop someone off less than a mini-trek away from the doors, tough titty if you're disabled); building car parks further and further away (one is free for 20 minutes but it would take more than that to do the round trip with baggage/kids/a disabled person).

Maybe they should just call it London (Cardiff) and take some of the pressure off real airports... :D

Probably quicker for us Londoners to get to than either Luton or Stanstead... :D

My last visit there involved all 3 - I wasn't sad to be driving away from there.
