Commenting on Flybe's plans, Chief Commercial Officer Mike Rutter said:
"Flybe has a strong track record in providing customers with great value new routes right across our UK network - from Inverness to Newquay. If anyone needs evidence of our ability to make aviation affordable, look no further than Southampton airport where five years ago, less than 200,000 passengers used the airport. Last year 2million flew from Southampton, of which 90% were Flybe passengers. We aim to do exactly the same for Cardiff!"
