£46m for projects supporting economy in Wales

The airport was bought by the Welsh government for £52m in 2013.

Cardiff Airport is to get a £3m loan to develop flight routes as part of £46m Welsh government spending on projects to support the economy.

The money, from its £74m capital reserves, is the latest part of a £13m loan package to attract new airlines.

Airbus will get £2.7m for training facilities at Swansea University and Coleg Cambria in Deeside, Flintshire.

While transport projects in north Wales, including Llangefni link road on Anglesey, will also get £2.7m.

The Welsh government will also set up loan funds for small businesses.

Finance Minister Jane Hutt said the money would boost infrastructure priorities and deliver "real and long-term benefits for people".
