About Cardiff Airport
Cardiff Airport attracts some two million passengers every year attracting passengers from not just Wales but along the M4 corridor. Like many British airports this was an old wartime airbase and once trained RAF Spitfire pilots. The first commercial flights started in the 1950s with a regular service to Dublin. Trans Atlantic flights started in 1971 and since then Cardiff Airport has grown to become a serious contender for air passengers on the west of the UK.
