Opik wants mid Wales stop off for North - South service
16.03.07
Lembit Opik a pilot and Montgomeryshire MP, best known outside political circles for being the boyfriend of one of the Cheeky Girls, is pushing for a proposed new daily air service between north and south Wales to make a scheduled stop in Mid Wales at Welshpool Airport.
Leader of the Welsh Lib Demorats, Mr Opik, said it could benefit the region by bringing in high spending business leaders and international tourists.
Last month a Scottish company announced it will operate the new air link between Anglesey in the north and Cardiff Airport in the south. Highland Airways, from Inverness, is proposing to run two weekday flights to passengers at the cost of about £50 each way.
