§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the future of Cardiff Airport. [59511]
§ Mr. HainCardiff International Airport is owned by TBI plc, who have invested heavily in new and improved facilities to create one of the most modern regional airports in the United Kingdom. The Airport's future prospects appear excellent, but I will be considering this further as part of an air services study for Wales which is currently under way. This study will focus on the scope for new and enhanced services as well as the role of airports in economic development.
