The whole point of this is that Heliair [through their own choice] is NOT offering this service.
Perhaps having seen another operator fly such a service they may reconsider?
But what we have not yet discovered is how many passengers the interlopers flew! These are very labour intensive operations, aircraft, pilot, groundcrew of three base etc. All of these elements have their own 52 week a year cost even if it is only in the investment in the base tent and stationery! Being sure of a groundcrew for instance may require retainers to be spent.
Unless there were a 100 or so paying passengers the enterprise will have been a failure, if more than 150 perhaps someone at Swansea needs to wake up!
