Cardiff Airport, located in Rhoose, Wales, operates as a regional airport within the airlines and aviation sector and serves as a gateway to Wales. Its runway measures 2,354 metres in length and 45 metres in width, enabling up to around 25 takeoffs or landings per hour, with procedures that use sea or agricultural land to keep noise impacts on nearby communities low. The facility sits in the Vale of Glamorgan, about 13 miles from the M4 at junction 33 and roughly 30 minutes from Cardiff city centre, with taxi and car hire options available outside the terminal. 
 
Since its acquisition by the Welsh Government in 2013, Cardiff Airport has been integrated into the St Athan – Cardiff Airport Enterprise Zone and is a modest contributor to the local economy. It is a mid-sized regional operation that supports Wales’ connectivity through ongoing expansion of services and partnerships. A recent development includes the February 2026 launch of direct Air France flights to Paris, reflecting an ongoing effort to broaden international connections.
