Cardiff airport location

Cardiff International Airport is located in the village of Rhoose, in the picturesque Vale of Glamorgan, approximately twelve miles west of the city of Cardiff.
The airport lies in an area, dubbed by the Welsh Assembly Government as a centre for aviation excellence, with several high-profile aviation companies being located in a small radius.
DARA, a public-private partnership based at RAF St. Athan, less than three miles from Cardiff International Airport; is responsible for the major servicing of RAF aircraft, including transport/refuelling wide-bodied aircraft such as L1011 Tristars and VC10s, as well as front-line attack aircraft, sucuh as the Jaguar, Tornado and Typhoon.
The St. Athan site has recently become a major civil aviation maintenance centre for ATC Lasham, who will perform wing modifications for Boeing 737 aircraft at the facility and TES Aviation.
On the airport site itself, British Airways has its major long-haul maintenance facility (as mentioned above) and Barry College has an avionics and engineering training centre just outside the terminal building.
