A Welsh government-owned airport is looking for a new boss after its chief executive quit.
Spencer Birns has left the role at Cardiff Airport to "pursue other opportunities".
Mr Birns had been the airport's CEO for four years and had spent a total of over 18 years in various roles at the company.
The Welsh government, which bought the airport in 2013 for £52m and has spent £181m on it in total, said it was aware the chief executive had left his position.
Mr Birns will be replaced on an interim basis by Andy Jones, a non-executive director at Cardiff Airport who was previously chief executive of the Port of Milford Haven.
