The Bank Holiday 'Getaway'

26 May 2007

Cardiff International Airport will handle 28,000 passengers over the coming Bank Holiday weekend, with Friday being the busiest day. This represents approximately a 5% growth on the same period last year.

The top ten destinations for holiday-weekend passengers are (in descending order):

- Palma

- Amsterdam

- Alicante

- Malaga

- Edinburgh

- Dalaman

- Ibiza

- Faro

- Belfast International

- Bodrum

Jon Horne, Managing Director of Cardiff International Airport said: "While weather forecasts for the UK are less than encouraging, a growing number of people are choosing to exploit the expansion of low-cost flights and packages from Cardiff for their Bank Holiday break.

"The weather hasn't deterred visitors to Wales with inbound traffic from our newest destinations such as Barcelona and Paris proving popular with Bank Holiday travellers", he added.
