Scottish airline Highland Airways is to operate the new daily flights between north and south Wales. The Inverness based airline will run two weekday return flights from Anglesey to Cardiff Airport, the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) confirmed.
Welsh Enterprise Minister, Andrew Davies, announced their intention to award the contract to the airline, subject to a statutory objection period. The flights, carrying a maximum of 36 passengers, will cost around £50 each way and will begin in the spring.
Mr Davies said the service will offer better business links and tourism opportunities and was 'an important step forward in the continued economic development of north west Wales'. The WAG will subsidise the route for three years.
