A former owner of Cardiff Airport has said he warned Welsh Government ministers that he saw "danger in the future" of the airport back in the early 2000s and that it was in the "wrong place".
Sir Stanley Thomas owned Cardiff Airport until 2004 through his business TBI and sold it to Barcelona-based Abertis, before it was bought by the Welsh Government in 2013. He said the Welsh Government's determination to keep the facility afloat was "throwing good money after bad money" and he could see the airport ceasing to exist in five years time.
Sir Stanley echoed the words of David Bryon, an ex-director of BMI Baby, who earlier this week said Cardiff Airport was built in the wrong place to attract enough passengers to make it viable and that no-one in their "right mind" would invest in the airport.
