Will it be a passenger operation?
Is it going to be operated by the same people as last time?
Anyways, It does sound quite interesting to say the least!
It would be nice if they resurected the lost Plymouth services, mainly Dublin and Cork! But the cahnces of that are slim

From what I have heard from within Air Wales they are keeping 2 aircraft to do possible freight, but they have no AOC or any crews and will not be recruiting for crews. The airline as it was is dead and buried but the 2 aircraft the the chairman keeps may be leased out to other companies for freight operation.
However I see this as being a very slim chance of happening, I think the possible reason is due to the leasing contract on the 2 aircraft, he's probably stuck with them for an agreed amount of time.

ATR relocation
One of the Ex Air Wales ATRs was air tested form Exeter a week or so ago the flight plan for the air test was filed from Munich.
This would lead to to aircraft for relocation one which is the third one in Guernsey and the fifth is unknown.
Could these two find new life with Atlantic Express as they seem to go from strength to strength.????

Yes...an ex Air Wales ATR was tested last week (I did it) and was delivered to Moenchengladbach. It is now operating in Sicily.
With regard to Air Wales ...they are far from dead, they merely ceased scheduled operations in April as per the press release at the time.
They retain two aircraft and you can expect to see the Dragon again soon.

Air Wales, have regained AOC
Suggest you speak to Roy Thomas,who has lost £8,000000!!
TA
Air Wales has no AOC like Twinailse said and I can gaurantee you will not be seeing the Red Dragon any time soon.
Yes they ceased trading and bowed out in a gentlemanly manner by refunding all pax and doing a sterling job in helping get all the crews into new jobs.
Some people though are having a hard time in letting go of the Red Dragon and really think it's going to be up and running again very soon, be great if it did but I doubt it very much.
I heard from a ex collegue of mine from Air Wales who was called and asked if they wanted to return but the Air Wales aircraft were going to be used by Auringy as a spare aircraft but still owned by Roy Thomas.
My ex collegue turned it down and I would imagine everyone who might have been contacted turn it down since they are all with successful airlines and would not want to go back to life of "will we have a job next week? does anybody in this airline know what they are doing?"
Air Wales has died R.I.P. and good luck to Roy with whatever he decides to do with the 2 ATR's he's stuck with for the time being.
History has shown Air Wales always turns up around 15-20 years after the last one closed down so I expect to see the Red Dragon again in around the year 2020.

Employee number 1 with Air Wales who I was out having a drink with.
O.k I tell a lie I only know of 2 Air Wales flight deck who are out of work but this was from a few months ago, so don't know how it stands with them at the moment, I do think at least one of them recently found work.

G-KNNY has now been re-registered as F-WQNB. This follows major maintenance work undertaken by Anglo Normandy Aeroengineering. The aircraft departed Guernsey on the 24th August 2006 bound for St. Brieuc. G-CDFF and G-SSEA remain in Guernsey (minus props) parked outside the Anglo Normandy Hangar.
