Four new jobs as airport terminal gets new operator

CARDIFF Airport is taking over passenger services at Anglesey Airport’s terminal with new jobs to be created.

An agreement has been reached between Cardiff Airport and Anglesey council that will see the operator at the RAF Valley site change from December 1. It takes over from current operator Apleona.

This new agreement will be in place until March 2023 and will allow the small team of staff at Anglesey Airport, and employed by Apleona, to move over seamlessly to join the Cardiff Airport team. A recruitment drive in the local Anglesey area will generate a further four jobs in aviation roles.

Ceri Mashlan, director of operations at Cardiff Airport, said: “We’re delighted to have secured this agreement and to be working with Isle of Anglesey

Council and the fantastic team at Anglesey Airport.

“On April 1st we took over the operations at Bro Tathan airfield: today we announce our next step with Anglesey Airport. As the national airport for the country and a key strategic asset, we are proud to be expanding our business by using our experience to deliver sustainability in airport operations across Wales.”

Donna Williams, airport manager at Anglesey Airport, said: “This is an exciting new chapter for Anglesey Airport.

“We are a small team here at Anglesey so it will be great to welcome new recruits and join the wider Cardiff Airport team, who will be on hand to share experience and knowledge.”

Anglesey airport opened in 2007, and has a weekday route between Cardiff and Anglesey.
