Get T3 on the route. PSO CWL-VLY with the existing NCL flights already being flown by the existing schedule. The based aircraft can then fit in a midday NCL to further poach NCL bound passengers from BRS and launch LBA ... Winning ! May have to cap the capacity on the J41 to 19 seats mind.

With people losing their jobs, it's never a great thing to see but this sham of an operation needs to be put to bed now. The CAA seems to have done well with doing just that, and Citywing must have no confidence in Van Air getting their license back from the CAA hence the folding of this sham.

If this were to resurface as Manx2 v3.0 then i'm sure the CAA would be in there once again to sort it out.

Begs the question, why isn't there an airline in the UK doing these services if Van Air and the likes seem to do pretty decently out of it ? Citywing are merely a ticket seller, a concept which the BBC seems to have failed to grasp. I guess T3 are the only small aircraft scheduled operator left in the UK in addition to Loganair.

Anyone fancy setting up an airline and creaming some WG money for CWL-VLY ?
