The CEO of Ryanair, Eddie Wilson, has revealed what would make the airline choose Cardiff Airport as a base for more holiday destinations - and it's all to do with cost. Mr Wilson spoke to WalesOnline at Funchal Airport in Madeira, where he was celebrating the launch of Ryanair's new base.
In response to a question about whether there were any more flights or destinations planned from Cardiff Airport, the CEO said: "Regional UK airports continue to be very strong for us. We've got a heavy presence in Bristol. We don't yet have a base in Cardiff, but I would like to think that we could - I mean, I know we launched the destination to Dublin there last year - but I would like to think we'd expand there. But it's all down to the cost.
"You look at it and say, 'why are they in Bristol, not in Cardiff?' You can be sure it's to do with cost and cost just translates to lower fares, which allows us to transport people, so we'll do our best for Cardiff."
