For much of the last week they have positioned the aircraft BLK-LPL, bussed outbound Blackpool pax down and flown them out of Liverpool. Inbound flights appear to operate into Blackpool as 'normal'.

Cardiff-Anglesey will remain OPERATED by North flying, who have been flying the route since Links air had their certificate revoked earlier last year. Only difference is that a travel agent called 'Citywing' (ex-manx2)will sell tickets on the route. Hopefully this will be made clear to customers when purchasing tickets although having experienced other 'Citywing/manx2' flight I won't hold my breath.

Citywing will take over the Cardiff to Anglesey route from Monday. Believe this is a route that Citywing have served before.

Citywing wet leased linksair aircraft (as a ticket agent) before links tendered for the route independently. Can't think if Citywing's wet leased lets, Do228 or metro's previously flew the route.

They operated the route before Links Air took over.
Personally I'd be very wary of booking with this seller as you could be palmed off onto any of their operators aircraft and you really don't know what you're going to get.

My experience of Citywing has generally been good and I know a couple of the pilots (vanair) who are very professional in their job and know that their aircraft are well maintained back in Brno

Perhaps someone high up in the Welsh Govt might realise that hiring tiddly planes from tiny airlines to transport very small numbers of passengers at a very high subsidy per pax is perhaps not sustainable in the long term ?
