Responding to Spencer Birns, chief executive of Cardiff Airport, quitting his role, Andrew RT Davies MS, Senedd Member for South Wales Central and former Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:
“The chief executive leaving the pitch is a vote of no confidence in Welsh Government’s ownership of Cardiff Airport.
“Spencer Birns has always done his best at Cardiff Airport, where facilities are second to none, but the lack of direction from Welsh Government has led to a non-return of airlines and a brutal decline in passenger numbers.
“If we’re going to see this key economic asset gain real strength, we need to see a change of ownership, and better direction so talented people like Mr Birns aren’t walking away.”
