The criteria for the tender was very strict including latest/earliest the flight can depart/arrive on certain part of the sector.
Other restrictions included first 60% of the flights should not be sold for more than £60 with the remainder no more than £90 each way.
Also despite the opening times of RAF Valley it is only possible for this service to operate in blocks at start and end of these times as it would otherwise interfeer with RAF Training.
In my opinion the new operator will make use of their aircraft at Cardiff Airport which will be welcomed however uncertain which routes may work well.
