The heliport is leased and operated by Wales Air Ambulance.[1] The heliport cost £3.8 million to build and was the operating base for the South Wales Police helicopter. The heliport can also handle passenger traffic, especially during sporting events at the Millennium Stadium.
In 2016, the heliport became the base for an additional helicopter from the Wales Air Ambulance fleet, operating specialist hospital transfers with in-flight incubators to transport babies.
