Cardiff airport voted among world's top ten airports 15/10/2004
Cardiff International Airport is in top class company with the bigger UK airports after being voted one of the top 10 best airports in the World by the Telegraph Travel Awards.
For a second consecutive year, Cardiff International Airport has been recognised as a quality operator which meets the needs of its customers and is rapidly developing in line with passenger requirements.
Out of the Top 10 Best Airports in the World, six of them were in Britain and included Manchester, Birmingham, East Midlands, Stansted and Newcastle. Changi Airport in Singapore was named the Best Airport for a fifth consecutive year.
Cardiff International Airport Head of Business Development Steve Hodgetts explains, “We are continually striving to improve quality at Cardiff International which is a focus shared with our partners bmibaby who were also voted ‘Best No Frills Airline’ at the event. We have a discerning and loyal customer base who we thank for nominating us for the second year running.”
“The recognition is greatly welcomed and will definitely aid in attracting further business to Cardiff International Airport. We are looking to see steady expansion of choice of tour operators and routes from Cardiff and are always in discussions with airlines and operators to offer new products.”
Cardiff International is working closely with organisations in Wales to bring greater improvements to the transport infrastructure and plans are already in place to re-open the Vale of Glamorgan train line with a new station named Rhoose Cardiff International Airport, scheduled to open in spring 2005, and enhancing the existing road network to the airport.
Cardiff International has seen a growth in the number of passengers since the introduction of Air Wales and bmibaby, who scooped the ‘Best No Frills Airline’ for the second year running at the Telegraph Travel Awards.
The Awards, which took place on Wednesday 6 October and presented by Angus Deayton at the Renaissance Chancery Court Hotel in London, have become established as the most prestigious and reliable indicator of excellence in the travel trade.
More than 26,000 questionnaires were sent to The Daily and The Sunday Telegraph readers who voted for their best airports, airlines and tour operators.
