Short day for businessmen taking Anglesea - Cardiff flights
22.02.07
Businessmen from North Wales who catch the new intra-Wales flight from Anglesea to Cardiff Airport could have less than four hours in the Welsh capital before having to start back.
It was announced this week that Scottish airline Highland Airways is to operate the new daily air link between Cardiff airport and RAF Valley, Anglesey. However, the two return flights per weekday will be constrained by the RAF's operating hours when they begin later this year.
The aircraft will be based in Cardiff and could offer business travellers from South Wales a useful day's work in Anglesey or Bangor. But the plane has to leave Valley before 18:00 on its last journey to Cardiff, which dictates a late-afternoon departure from the capital to Anglesey.
Allowing for the one-hour flight time each way, travel between Cardiff and the airport, and check-in for the return journey, passengers flying to the capital and returning on the same day will therefore only have from about 11:00 to 14:30 in the city. And on Fridays they may have to start back at 13:30pm, because the RAF shuts Valley airfield at 17:00.
