Question
When will the Welsh Government provide an update on its final decision regarding the planned subsidy for Cardiff Airport?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
The Competition & Markets Authority assessment of our proposed long-term investment in Cardiff Airport was published on 2 October. I have already issued a Written Statement in response.
I am not going to comment on the detail of the CMA report. As per the Written Statement, we will now take the time needed to give full consideration to their assessment and we remain open to refining our proposed programme of investment on the basis of that assessment. I will update the Senedd in due course once we have decided on the best way forward.
The latest meeting between Cardiff Airport and a Cabinet Secretary or Minister was my most recent visit to the airport on 21 November, when I met with the Airport’s Chair and CEO.
