Eastern Airways’ Cardiff-Anglesey service extended

Tuesday, 18 Feb, 2019 0

Air travel between Cardiff and Anglesey has been secured for the next four years following the Welsh Government’s decision to extend the air service contract to Eastern Airways.

The awarding of the Public Service Obligation (PSO) contract between February 2019 and February 2023 was announced by economy and transport minister Ken Skates, with the scheduled air service providing two flights each weekday in both directions between north and south Wales.

Eastern Airways has operated the route on behalf of Flybe since March 2017.

General manager commercial and operations Roger Hage said: "Since stepping in to cover this incredibly important economic link between the north and south of Wales, we have proactively grown passenger numbers as part of the Flybe branded service.

"We’re delighted to have been awarded the contract to help further grow the capacity on the service in fully supporting the Transport Minister, and both Cardiff Airport and Anglesey Council’s ambition to increase accessibility and also improve connectivity to other services offered by our franchise partner Flybe, plus Qatar, KLM, Ryanair and TUI at Cardiff."

The transport minister said he is continuing to push the UK Government to allow Wales to introduce a network of new PSO air services across the UK to support the country’s domestic trade.
