Cardiff Airport: Wizz Air ends flights in and out of Wales

A budget airline is ending all flights in and out of Cardiff Airport. Wizz Air suspended its winter flights in August, over running costs and has now cited the economic climate as the reason for this decision. The Welsh government, which owns the airport, described the move as "surprising". Wizz Air said affected customers could have either a 120% refund in airline credit, a 100% cash refund or another flight from one of its other bases. The airline's two remaining winter routes to Milan and Bucharest will cease to operate from 25 January. Customers who have booked with the airline have been encouraged by Cardiff Airport to rebook with an alternative operator at the airport - TUI, Vueling, Ryanair or KLM. All Cardiff-based employees will be offered redeployment opportunities at Wizz Air's two other UK bases, London Gatwick and London Luton.<br/>
