I do believe that the point of quoting those figures is in essence counter propaganda to people saying that the airports debt is massive and are using it as a political stick to beat the airport with. Personally I was surprised by how high Bristols debt is but it is an airport that shows how long term investment has lead to success and Cardiff can learn from that.
Genuine question: Is there anything new or am I missing something? We knew about the financial performance from press reports a few weeks ago as well as the increased loan facility.Airport lines up further growth and investment
Cardiff Airport is targeting growth and further investment after securing an additional £28m loan facility and following a financial year when turnover climbed past £20m. However,…www.insidermedia.com
It does appear to be just old info just a different article.Genuine question: Is there anything new or am I missing something? We knew about the financial performance from press reports a few weeks ago as well as the increased loan facility.
I wasn't trying to be clever. I wasn't sure if I was missing something.It does appear to be just old info just a different article.
Is that the goal though? Part of me questions whether they actually want to bring on any investors at all.Why would they want to do that if the goal is to sell it back to the private sector?

I'm just wondering if being not for profit would be feasible for Cardiff airport.
I'm not really suggesting it as such but just wondering if it could be a valid option for CWL as i don't know enough about not for profit businesses to say whether there would be any sort of drawbacks or things the airport couldn't or could do.I suppose yours suggestion, Jerry, revolves around the WG's dual-purpose ownership of CWL: to help grow the Welsh economy and to provide a profitable airport - in time. Do you believe that the latter will never be achievable, therefore the economy-growth scenario should be recognised as the only realistic reason for public ownership of the airport?
Like you, I don't know enough about the subject to venture a meaningful opinion either way. Has this been talked about in, say, social media groups re CWL? I'm not a member of any so am not aware.I'm not really suggesting it as such but just wondering if it could be a valid option for CWL as i don't know enough about not for profit businesses to say whether there would be any sort of drawbacks or things the airport couldn't or could do.
As for whether the airport will ever make a profit there is part of me sceptical that it will as i wonder if CWL will ever get to the passenger numbers that will help it become profitable but politically the WG and the airport may well have to be seen to at least try.
Not that I've seen.Has this been talked about in, say, social media groups re CWL? I'm not a member of any so am not aware.
I'd imagine that the Welsh government would through the loan. They did give the airport a loan extension of what £24 million?Although as it currently stands, who stumps up the losses until/if it's sold to the private sector?
