Passengers up 30% on Welsh air link
22.08.11
Passengers using the North - South Wales air link that connects Anglesey to Cardiff have risen by 30%, the Daily Post reports. Manx2 took over the air service in May 2010 and yesterday they revealed that passenger numbers for the last three months were up by 30% on the same period last year.
A spokesman for the airline said: ‘We been contracted to provide the twice daily weekday intra-Wales air service since May 2010. Since then passenger numbers have steadily increased and in the last three months have risen by nearly 30%. More than 1,000 passengers were carried in July alone. There have also been no delays on the route with every flight arriving early or on time.’
‘The market is growing again as communities at both ends of the route have responded to the reliability, punctuality and time saving offered by the flights and a range of new lower leisure fares, which start from £24.95. The growth in passenger numbers clearly illustrates how important the intra-Wales air service is to communities in the North and South of the country, by maintaining connectivity in these difficult times, and helping contribute to economic growth.’
The air link is subsidised by £800,000 a year by the Welsh Government.
