It\u2019s really easy to park and we generally find it less stressful,\u201d said frequent flier Rachel Thomas from Cardiff.<br \/>\n\u201cIt has a fairly good amount of flights at the moment but it would be great if it had a bigger range.\u201d<br \/>\nWhen asked about devolving air passenger duty in 2017, former First Minister Carwyn Jones said: \u201cThis is not about taking passengers from other airports, this is about growing demand in Wales.\u201d<br \/>\nA Welsh Government spokesperson said: \u201cWe continue to urge the U.K. Government to devolve air passenger duty (APD) to Wales.<br \/>\n\u201cThe UK Government&#8217;s failure to devolve APD continues to place unjustifiable constraints on our ability to promote Wales to overseas markets and support growth in the aviation sector and wider economy.<br \/>\n&#8220;Furthermore, as Scotland, Northern Ireland and England all control APD to different extents, there is no justification for Wales being treated differently.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It was announced on Monday that the airport\u2019s existing contract with Eastern Airways to run flights between Cardiff and Anglesey has been extended by four years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE UK Government is blocking plans that could make flights from Cardiff Airport cheaper,\u00a0the Welsh Government has claimed.
