Ryanair has announced more flights from Cardiff Airport next year including daily services to Dublin. The airline will also be extending its route to the Spanish resort of Malaga by operating all summer (April-October) with two flights a week. It is also maintaining a year-round flights to Faro.
Ryanair's announcement comes as latest figures show passengers numbers at the Welsh Government-owned airport have reached 50% of pre-Covid levels.
The airport's aviation development director, Marc Watkins, said: “Ryanair offered extra Dublin frequencies over this last summer which sold well, giving the airline the confidence to commit to a daily flight for next summer. Responding to strong passenger demand from Cardiff with the extra Malaga flights being added during September and October next year, thousands more travellers will be able to fly to Spain’s Costa del Sol in 2023. After launching winter flights to Faro last month, we are really happy that Ryanair is continuing its commitment to this Portuguese hotspot again next summer.”
