I’d say Ryanair is the only major Irish ☘️ Airline company as Aer Lingus is owned by Spanish IAG.

Between Gwynedd, Conwy and Ynys Mon there is a population of about 300,000 people. The area is also a popular area for tourism. Only limitation VLY has is it's opening hour's of 8 am to 6 pm and each flight can only carry a max of 19 people due to terminal restrictions.

What’s bankers got to do with anything? Anglesey has a massive tourist market and it’s a good 2 hrs drive to Manchester airport a London route would do well not only as a destination but for onward flights.

an op from valley is like an op from lands end or st marys - max 19 seats -
so not governed by any no security nonsense - bliss for passengers but we are talking only twin otter size or dornier 228 sort of thing

shame anglesey does not have the same tourism input and profile as say the scillies - anglesey and the surrounds are beautiful

the airline into ISC does amazingly well op'g from LEQ EXT and NQY

valley would be ideal for a similar set up to get folk in

I guess most tourists are from N W England

It's certainly unlikely to be able to support any serious airline when you see how other spots struggle

It’s massive when taken into comparison with the size of the island I can achieve 42 weeks of the year in rental for my 3 bed cottage and there is loads of cottages and camping places lots of luxurious sites with cabins etc.

What about massive in terms of supporting regular air services? Would the Cardiff service survive if it wasn't for the Government travel element?

2 daily flights to London with J41s should be no problem. Heathrow would be the prefered airport but I'll guess VLY would settle for Gatwick.

Jerry, the economics of a flight to London would really not be viable.
Given the fees that would need to be paid and there is the option of a direct train from Holyhead with Virgin to Euston taking less than 4 hours, there is no justification of it being needed. Also who would need to use it? If it's to LCY is there that much business between North West Wales and London? If LHR, isn't MAN a viable alternative option?

Where's the justification that this needs to be subsidised like CWL-VLY? If it can't be justified then the fares would outstrip the demand straight away.

Also can't see LHR or LGW wanting to give up slots for a J41 either!

What’s the real world does it just consist of large airlines and airports
I remember all the fuss about SEN and more recently CAX which I know will be a success there is no reason why Small/medium sized aircraft could not work from STN SEN LTN or even LGW.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t see it happening and if it did it would be way down on the list for a new route from any airline but it could work.
