Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:15 pm on 11 December 2018.
I'd like to thank the First Minister for securing the future of Cardiff Airport, and also welcome, as he has, the latest passenger figures, which show that during the last financial year, total passenger numbers grew year on year by 9 per cent to reach 1.48 million. And also, just to follow up representations that I know you have made consistently, First Minister, to the UK Government regarding devolving air passenger duty—of course, there is cross-party support here for that—it's clear it would have a beneficial impact for Cardiff Airport and for Wales, so where do you think we're going in terms of those negotiations?
