English: It's good to see that there's considerable unity around supporting our international airport, and I think it's good to hear the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee recognising some of the changes that have been made to make the airport viable. It's absolutely the case that, if the Welsh Government hadn't taken it over in 2013, the airport would have closed. End of story. We have to recognise that it's about 2,500 jobs directly or indirectly being maintained here in south Wales. In the difficult economic circumstances we find ourselves in, that's very important revenue. We know from the discussion we had with Cardiff Airport's senior executives on Monday last week that they are already earning more money than it costs to run the airport, and they have been doing so for the last three years. So that's a very important point, because were that not to be the case that obviously makes for a potentially very difficult situation. We know that the tipping point is about 1.6/1.7 million passengers a year. So, obviously, we are in a dangerous situation at the moment as a result of coronavirus, which is obviously disrupting everything in terms of the world economy. But it is actually only £36.2 million, Nick Ramsay, that Cardiff Airport has drawn down so far of the possible £38 million - that's what we heard in the Public Accounts Committee. We need to place that £36.2 million commercial loan in the context of what other regional airports are carrying in the way of debt. We learnt last week that Liverpool has a debt of £102 million; Newcastle £367 million; Leeds Bradford £125 million; and Bristol Airport £590 million debt.
Welsh: Mae'n dda gweld bod undod sylweddol o ran cefnogi ein maes awyr rhyngwladol, ac rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n dda clywed Cadeirydd y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus yn cydnabod rhai o'r newidiadau a wnaed i wneud y maes awyr yn hyfyw. Mae'n gwbl wir, pe na byddai Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cymryd yr awenau ym 2013, y byddai'r maes awyr wedi cau. Diwedd y stori. Rhaid inni gydnabod bod tua 2,500 o swyddi'n cael eu cynnal yn uniongyrchol neu'n anuniongyrchol yma yn ne Cymru. Yn yr amgylchiadau economaidd anodd yr ydym ni ynddynt ar hyn o bryd, mae hynny'n refeniw pwysig iawn. Gwyddom o'r drafodaeth a gawsom ni gydag uwch reolwyr gweithredol Maes Awyr Caerdydd ddydd Llun yr wythnos diwethaf eu bod eisoes yn ennill mwy o arian nag y mae'n ei gostio i redeg y maes awyr, ac mai dyna fu'r achos dros y tair blynedd diwethaf. Felly, mae hwnnw'n bwynt pwysig iawn, oherwydd pe bai hynny ddim yn wir yna yn amlwg gallai'r sefyllfa fod yn un anodd iawn. Gwyddom mai'r ffigur allweddol yw oddeutu 1.6/1.7 miliwn o deithwyr y flwyddyn. Felly, yn amlwg, rydym ni mewn sefyllfa beryglus ar hyn o bryd o ganlyniad i'r coronafeirws, sy'n amlwg yn amharu ar bopeth o ran economi'r byd. Ond mewn gwirionedd dim ond £36.2 miliwn, Nick Ramsay, y mae Maes Awyr Caerdydd wedi ei fenthyg o'r £38 miliwn posib - dyna a glywsom ni yn y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus. Mae angen inni roi'r benthyciad masnachol hwnnw o £36.2 miliwn yng nghyd-destun yr hyn y mae meysydd awyr rhanbarthol eraill yn ei wneud o ran dyled. Fe wnaethom ni ddysgu yr wythnos diwethaf fod gan Lerpwl ddyled o £102 miliwn; Newcastle £367 miliwn; Leeds Bradford £125 miliwn; a maes awyr Bryste £590 miliwn o ddyled.
