Passenger numbers at Cardiff Airport have risen by 15% so far this year - with the summer season now in full swing.
Bosses say the Rhoose airport is enjoying a busier summer than in 2024 with three airlines providing extra flights in response to growing demand.
Ryainair is running its biggest ever summer schedule from Wales with routes to Alicante, Dublin, Faro, Mala and Tenerife.
Tui is offering 45 weekly flights to 22 destinations while low-cost Spanish airline Vueling is running multiple weekly flghts to Malaga and Alicante.
Next summer will see Tui add three more routes to Hurghada, Faro and Fuerteventura - the latter of which will launch this winter - with a fourth aircraft being introduced at Cardiff.
Airport chiefs say there's also been "excellent feedback" for the Next Generation Security scanners introduced last December, which allows up to 100ml of liquid to be kept inside bags and cases, along with all electronics.
Lee Smith, the airport's head of business development, said: "It’s great to see the terminal so busy with passengers enjoying our upgraded facilities. We’re consistently hearing how easy and welcoming the Cardiff Airport experience is, which is something we’re extremely proud of."
"Our strong focus on customer service is well received by passengers, and it’s encouraging to see airline partners responding to the growing demand."
"The route development team is actively working with both existing and prospective airlines to bring even more choice and connectivity to Wales’ Airport."
The Welsh Government-owned airport is seeking a new permanent chief executive following the departure of Spencer Birns in February - with Andy Jones currently serving as interim CEO.
