French rugby fans begin to arrive at Cardiff Airport

Today is expected to be the busiest day in 2012 for arriving passenger at Cardiff Airport as French rugby supporters arrive in their droves to cheer on their team at the Millennium Stadium.

The airport will see almost 30 extra arrivals compared to what it usually handles on a typical Friday during the winter.  This weekend is a major boost for Cardiff as most passengers arriving today will be spending two nights in Cardiff City Centre and the surrounding areas.
