As for the loans given to CWL the money is to be used on important things like runway resurfacing, new security scanners and upgrading the ILS system to CAT2 and no doubt continued investment in the terminal and some is set aside for route development as well I believe.
It may take a while but I'm sure eventually most of the ex Flybe routes will be regained.
Well maybe not a state owned airline but certainly a private one. The old Air Wales grew a tidy network but certainly was chaotic with 5 aircraft on some low yield routes. But with the loss of BHD, DUB & CDG these would be ideal as the passenger figures were very high in these 3 routes especially.
