Cardiff Airport has been named one of the UK's best airports, beating the likes of Bristol, Gatwick and Manchester. According to a survey by consumer body Which?, the Welsh airport was ranked in eighth position with a customer score of 73%, while Newcastle Airport came in seventh place and Inverness Airport in ninth place.
The survey concluded that small airports including Doncaster Sheffield, Exeter and Liverpool John Lennon had beaten their big-name rivals to be crowned best in the UK this year, while many larger hubs were crippled by excessive delays and cancellations over summer.
Doncaster Sheffield Airport topped the consumer champion’s survey for the fourth consecutive time, after almost 7,500 Which? members were asked to rate their experiences at UK airports over the past two years. It is perhaps a bittersweet announcement for the airport as it is set to be shut down soon, with the last flight departing in the next few weeks.
