Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:18 pm on 8 May 2019.
Minister, the airport has had a couple of setbacks recently—the Flybe announcement being the worst. I'm not sure that you would have heard that Peter Phillips, a former senior manager at Cardiff Airport and a former adviser to Brisbane and Amsterdam airports, has said that Cardiff Airport needs to develop its freight services and its business zone in response to the Flybe announcement. In terms of freight, he has stated that the UK template should be the East Midlands airport. So, are you looking at other airports to learn the best practice? Also, this is an important time for the airport, as there will shortly be a change in its leadership.
