Cardiff Airport Passenger Numbers Jump 20% in 2023, Still Lagging Pre-Pandemic Levels
Cardiff Airport experienced a significant 20% increase in passenger numbers in 2023, serving over one million travelers. This growth marks a continued recovery for the Welsh government-owned airport following the pandemic. Despite the positive trend, the total figures remain at just 69% of the passenger levels recorded in 2019. Airport management attributes the rise to the return and expansion of services from key airlines, including Tui, Ryanair, KLM, and Qatar Airways. The focus remains on rebuilding the route network to further close the gap to pre-Covid traffic.
