O dan berchnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru, mae'r maes awyr wedi cael ei weithredu hyd braich ar sail fasnachol a, hyd at 12 mis yn ôl, roedd wedi gweld ei sefyllfa’n gwella’n sylweddol. Yn ôl ffigurau gan yr Awdurdod Hedfan Sifil, ers 2013 roedd nifer y teithwyr Maes Awyr Caerdydd wedi cynyddu dros 50 y cant.
Under Welsh Government ownership, the airport has been operated at arm’s length on a commercial basis and, up until 12 months ago, had witnessed a significant turnaround in fortunes. So much so that since 2013, figures from the Civil Aviation Authority showed that passenger growth at Cardiff Airport had increased by over 50 per cent.
