May well be lack of warehousing around it or close by but you'd have thought that with depots in Swansea and Avonmouth the airport would've attracted some Amazon flights by now.Cardiff Airport should be excelling in freight. What is holding it back? It can take the heavies, it has upgraded the links to the M4.
The Avonmouth Amazon gets quite a few containers each week from the container service that operates into Portbury dock.The same thing happens at Swansea containers are trunked over from Portbury dock. Avonmouth Amazon are doing a lot of work for Swansea as Avonmouth has robots and Swansea not got any.It tells the story that robots are quicker than humans and looks like the way to go.May well be lack of warehousing around it or close by but you'd have thought that with depots in Swansea and Avonmouth the airport would've attracted some Amazon flights by now.
Freight wise Cardiff has the same problem as it does passenger wise. It all gets sucked into England.The Avonmouth Amazon gets quite a few containers each week from the container service that operates into Portbury dock.The same thing happens at Swansea containers are trunked over from Portbury dock.

Most of the containers that Amazon gets delivered each week are mainly China and the Far East in general.They are loaded containers with various goods for Amazon. The return of empty containers are put into a stock yard in Avonmouth or Portbury.All the goods Amazon get delivered to them go out via couriers to customers.Freight wise Cardiff has the same problem as it does passenger wise.

It would be interesting to know where those containers are being shipped to.
Its a shame that they can't ship the goods via ports in Wales. If look at Wales direct trading links to the world by sea and air they are quite poor.Most of the containers that Amazon gets delivered each week are mainly China and the Far East in general.They are loaded containers with various goods for Amazon.

As with BRS being situated between the CWL and EXT catchments and benefiting from both, it's mainly down to geographical location.Its a shame that they can't ship the goods via ports in Wales. If look at Wales direct trading links to the world by sea and air they are quite poor.
The historic pub (closed at the moment but it's grade 2 listed) The Llandoger Trow was buit in 1664 in Bristol's ancient King Street. A trow was a flat-bottomed boat with many built at Llandogo in the lower reaches of the Wye Valley.Since the middle ages, sailing ships from Bristol called at south and west Wales ports and quays bring both goods and passengers. There is a pub on the quay side in Haverfordwest called the Bristol Trader.
