Hello jetstreamtechrecords
These are the figures that BBC Wales put out on their video.
I didn't check them which was probably a mistake given the media's dubious track record for accuracy in all sorts of things.
Given that the route is running at approximately 50% load factor they would be about right in terms of subsidy per passenger at the moment though BBC Wales was working on full loads.
I certainly have no axe to grind with Manx2. If the WAG feels this is a correct use of public money they will have to answer to the voters. The political opposition in Wales has criticised the move but that's what oppositions do of course.
Twin Aisle has a valid point when he says that if Manx2 only intend to set up more routes from CWL on the basis of the subsidy then other airlines might shout foul. Then again it only needs Manx2 to say they were going to anyway to make it difficult to prove the subsidy had a bearing.
