It will be a very long time until APD is devolved to the Welsh Government if indeed it ever does especially as it was voted against in Westminster a week or two ago.
As of Eastern Airwyas they already operate Aberdeen via Newcastle and i'm unsure if there is demand to increase this offering. I believe I read somewhere that the Leeds Bradford figures have been dropping for several years.
As for Air Canada Rouge they are a possible target to go after and no doubt they have been on the radar of Spencer Birns for some time. It was just this week that a Dublin was announced.
