Well the idea behind this now is that
The maximum ticket price will apply to 75% of the minimum seating capacity, allowing the operator some flexibility in setting fares for the remaining seats.
.
Maybe the Welsh Assembly Government is financing this route through the challengin times we still have ahead of us before letting it go alone in 2014.
Allowing the succesfull candidate to charge their own fares on the last 25% of the seats may be a step in making this route become financially viable.
The questiona is what steps will the Welsh Assembly Government take next in order to improve the infurstructure of the air network in Wales?
