Cardiff Airport Overview

History of Cardiff Airport began in the early 1940s with the requisition of land by the Air Ministry in the rural Vale of Glamorgan. The requisitioned land was used to establish a satellite aerodrome and training base known as RAF Rhoose for RAF Spitfire pilots during the Second World War. Construction began on the site in 1941 and the airfield was first used in April 1942. It was abandoned after the war, but was later converted to a civilian airport and opened as the Rhoose Airport in October 1952, with Irish flag carrier Aer Lingus commencing flight service from there to Dublin in the same year.

The airport initially belonged to Cardiff Airport Limited, a private company completely owned by former public company TBI Ltd. The Welsh Government announced in March 2013 that it had bought Cardiff Airport from TBI Ltd, a company owned by the Spanish conglomerate Abertis (90 percent) and the world’s largest airport operator Aena International (10 percent). There were claims at the time that the government had nationalised the airport’s owner, but it said a purchase price of £52,000,000 was paid for the take-over. The Welsh government did not take up operation of the airport, but left that to Cardiff Airport Limited.

Imperial Airways and Jersey Airways were among the airlines that conducted flights to the island before the commencement of the Second World War. Unpredictable tides and public use of the landing area led to the construction of the airport by the States of Jersey. The longest of the four grass runways at inception measured about 896 metres before a lengthier tarmac runway (1,280 metres) was opened in 1952, leading to the closure of the earlier grass runways.
