Increasingly, someone is editing the Cardiff International Airport entry to reflect their own preconceptions. The History section is more of a commentary than a history and this approach is creeping in elsewhere in the piece. The page needs review by a contributor from the airports project.

[edit] Title of article

Where is the airport called Cardiff Wales International Airport? All sites I can find (including the official site [1]) refer to it as Cardiff International Airport. Search Google for Cardiff Wales International Airport, and all results refer to it without Wales in the title. The image on this page [2] is of the airport building with Cardiff International Airport (with no mention of Wales) written on it. Unless someone can prove otherwise, I believe the title should be Cardiff International Airport and I will rename it. Alexj2002 22:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree Alex, I reverted the article back to the original name. Thanks/wangi 08:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

From time to time, this article suffers from POV. Best to keep a close eye.

• Reply: Cardiff Wales Airport is the former name. I think it's still like that on one sign in Cardiff (Ely Bridge) but the current title is Cardiff International User:Welshleprechaun 23:06, 20 Dec 2006

[edit] Ryanair

Does anyone know why and when Ryanair stopped serving Cardiff? I definately flew there on Ryanair and yet they don't seem to even mention it on their website anymore, nor does this list. --Kiand 12:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Ryanair's history page on their website lists two dates for service to CWL starting, but nothing for terminating: http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/about.php Thanks/wangi 13:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

See a previous version of the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cardiff_International_Airport&oldid=69184919 Thanks/wangi 13:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Continuing POV and vandalism

What had been a comprehensive and wikified piece has been suffering from POV and vandalism over the past couple of months. I have reverted it to an earlier, more complete version, checked all current stats and facts, removed biased comments about the airport's success or otherwise - which were not substantiated - and added relevant links. Frankly, apart from the occasional update, there seems to be no reason to mess with this entry any more.

[edit] Vandalism - again

To whoever (DaGrimReaper actually) thinks that the airport has poor transport links - This is a personal opinion and not a fact. Cardiff is also not a minor airport. Lock page to newbies?

[edit] Airlines and Destinations

Someone keeps messing with the airlines and destinations, for example air malta don't serve the airport anymore and blue islands are a private airline! Also the list seems to be messed up now and doesn't follow the general pattern that most other airport pages do

Air Malta will serve Cardiff in Summer 07. Blue Islands provides a scheduled, bookable service between Cardiff and Guernsey - although one must admit that getting a seat on it is difficult ... usually arranged via a Guernsey resort. On this basis, should these airlines be restored? Pete 11:15, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
