Rejected petition Rename Cardiff International Airport after the late Howard Marks.

Howard Marks gained notoriety for his smuggling exploits and spent years on the run before he was caught and extradited to the US.
A year after being released early from an American prison, his memoirs, Mr Nice became a bestseller and was turned into a film, while Marks also spent years campaigning to reform drugs laws.
It is only appropriate that such a totemic, inspirational and influential cultural and political figure should be commemorated in the name of Wales' national airport.
