It's astonishing how little you get for your money when the public sector is involved. After the latest round of taxpayer funding, Cardiff Airport has managed to secure… a single new TUI route to Fuerteventura and a weekly ski flight to Salzburg. Hardly a transformation, and certainly not a return o...

It would have been interesting to hear Ryanair’s perspective on the new route, but it seems the only comment came from...
