Pie in the Sky

All been herd of before. There was a group called Wales Airport Net that included Haverfordwest, Swansea, Aberporth and Pembrey. This was about when the WAG started to look at the PSO route hoping for lots of WAG cash to bring the airfields up to minimal standards. You need for schedule services Fire Cover, Security, Nav aids, published approach procedures and full ATC. Swansea was just able to do all that at quite a cost Pembrey had the published approach but took two years and lot of money for surveys etc. Haverfordwest has looked at a procedure but again has come up with the cost angle. Then just look at the economics where are the passengers comming from where is the industry that needs the service even the PSO proposed for Valley Cardiff is based on a need for a reasonable passenger load.
