Cardiff Airport set for facelift

Mon, 02 Mar, 2009

Cardiff Airport is to undergo redevelopment due to begin later this year.

As well as changing its name from Cardiff International Airport to simply Cardiff Airport or Maes Awyr Caerdydd, the building will have changes made to its design and layout, TravelMole reports.

The departures and arrivals halls will become one place and new services will be available.

Patrick Duffy, managing director, said that the redevelopment, which includes a new logo, would provide "a more discerning image domestically and internationally".

It is planned that the facelift will be completed by summer next year.

This would have it finished in plenty of time for the Ryder Cup, which will take place in Wales in October 2010.

Air passengers should book airport parking online in advance in order to get the best prices.

The airport provides scheduled flights to destinations including Geneva, Paris and Malaga, while charter flights can be taken to places such as Ibiza, Malta, Sharm el Sheik and Corfu.
