Cardiff: General Airport Discussion & Updates

[Jerry]

It's been posted on social media that the Welsh football related wording at the front of the terminal is being taken down. Will be interesting to see if it gets replaced with anything.

Yes I saw that too. About time as it was a bit of an eyesore

 

[Jerry]

I kind of liked it tbh.

 

[Samdorob]

Bit of a shame if true. I’ve always liked the uniqueness of it.

Well I'm hoping there's a reason for it!

Maybe they’re tearing it down to replace it with a massive Ryanair advert?! 🤞😝

In total Cardiff Airport will see up to 46 weekly departures to 15 destinations. That's roughly up to 12,922 seats onsale using 737 800s, E175s and ATR72s. Departures wise the airport is back to 2024/25 winter levels.
There are also one offs to Lapland, extra flights in December on Dublin and Belfast, Caribbean cruise flights (6 over the winter I believe between P&O and TUI) and extra flights and destinations for the Six Nations including Cork and Rome.

Caribbean cruise flights (6 over the winter I believe between P&O and TUI)

Aren’t these now due to be operated by Norse? Unless I’ve mixed it up with somewhere/something else.

TUI do their own cruise charters as well

P&O will be Norse

The P&O ones are, TUI will operate their own flights.

Still looks tacky. They should've stuck with a black, red and white style that is on the right of the photo.

I think it is time for an update.

Was at the airport recently and felt like the whole of the front needs a bit of a refresh. The International Arrivals signage also looks dated.

It's been changed to Croseo Welcome
