Mr Sarul Islam has started a Welsh Assembly petition calling for the change. The Assembly petitions committee requires 10 signatures to be considered in the Assembly, So far 16 people have signed it, including 1 from the United States.

He is currently the president of the Commonwealth Business and Investment Council for Wales and claims “rebranding the airport with such a well-known name would attract international customers”.

Previous calls to rename the airport have included “Dylan Thomas International” and “Sir Tom Jones International”.

A spokesperson for Cardiff Airport said “We have no plans to change our name”.
