As aviation is devolved, decisions regarding any subsidies made to Cardiff Airport is a matter for the Welsh Government. While the Secretary of State has not had any conversations with counterparts in the Welsh Government, officials continue to engage the Welsh Government and nearby airports to understand the potential impacts.
