Even if the WG had investors in the end it's up to the MOD as VLY is an RAF base. Would they allow expansion of the civilian side to several flights a day including business jet movements as well? It will be interesting to see if the WG can agree a deal with them for that in the future.

As for the PSO routes from Cardiff i don't see them happening as i think the UK government will just say no. If the Welsh government wants Flybe to launch a Manchester route then they are going to have to back it another way.
