PLYMOUTH
Not bad, I have one last trip on the Boeing and then I start the conversion course for the plastic french plane with the playstation joystick.
A few people from 6G are starting at the great orange machine.
How you getting on with the course?

Have received this email from Air Wales themselves:
quote
"Unfortunately, all services from Plymouth to Cardiff will be cancelled
from the 20th February 2006. This was a very difficult decision to
reach; however, due to lack of profitability, we have no option but to
withdraw this service which we have worked hard to establish and
support.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Plymouth to Cork will resume from the 27th March 2006; all flights will
operate via Newquay."

What on earth is going on here, I thought the plan was Exeter- Newquay-Cork. Sorry Air Wales but I really can't see the point of flying Plymouth to Cork via Newquay. Living in West Cornwall if I wanted to go to Cork I would be forced to drive to Plymouth anyway since there is no alternative?

I see Plymouth's returning to having all its eggs in one basket again.
Air SouthWest instead of Brymon this time, and still no sign of the runways being developed yet!
When Sutton Harbour say it's thinking of developing the airport do they mean into affordable housing?

Does the scrapping of the Aberdeen - Newcastle and Cardiff - Plymouth sectors of the Air Wales route now open the possibility of the once talked about Newquay - Newcastle - Aberdeen route by Air Southwest starting?

I see your not far from the truth there side-saddled when you say about Plymouth returning to having all its eggs in one basket again,
and still no sign of the runways being developed yet!
If Sutton Harbour Holdings have any desire to put Plymouth Airport where it belongs as far as a regional airport goes (It will never be anything else with the nimbys around it) it is time for them to invest heavilly and get their fingers out. Time has already gone onto long and as per normal with things that are supposed to happen down here we spend years talking about it and not doing.:

I have heard today that Airsouthwest have not long taken delivery of their fifth Dash 8 from Bombardier and are due to take their sixth in the next two months eventually having a total of ten. Anybody any ideas where they were previously in service. Also apparently the extension to the runway is supposedly due to start towards the end of this year. Anybody also heard this.If this is the case bring it on the sooner the better

Air Southwest
It is reported on the ASW website that they have carried 500,000 passengers since their launch in 2003.This is great news for air travellers in the south west. Hopefully Sutton Harbour Holdings won't do to ASW what happened to Brymon and sell to a bigger airline and then watch it disapear from the southwest. All the very best to them and long may it continue and stay a southwest based airline.
