According to the Wales Air Network fraternity, there is some interest in ASW from a billionaire former Welsh airline owner and a multi-millionaire current Welsh airport owner, who have worked together in the past. On the up-side, they would want to expand ASW's bases and remove the "South" tag. On the down-side, they can't get reliable go-betweens or figures, it is suggested. Meanwhile, there is only one deal on the table which isn't that exciting to Sutton, apparently. Hence the lack of progress.
