Cardiff Airport is targeting passenger numbers recovering to 50% of pre-Covid levels this year boosted with a new base from Wizz Air going live next month.
Latest figures from the Civil Aviation Authority showed the airport handled 18,674 passengers in February - with a rolling year figure of 150,122.
However, with the removal of Covid travel restrictions, as part of a five year recovery plan the Rhoose-based airport is looking to get back to its pre-pandemic passenger level of 1.6 million (2019) by 2026 and around 800,000 this year.
