This Just in..

A regional airline, with red dragons painted on the tail of their aircraft, and based in Wales are set to become the first airline registered as a charity a spokesman has confirmed..

"Well boyo's, you see, with all these bills to pay, it really wasn't profitable running thses ATR 42 things, it was going to take some decent management and a bit of organisation to get things ticking over." He went on.. "Well we got together down at Swansea you see, and thought, I know, lets not pay our bills, and lets get everyone to do contract work for us for free.. Brilliant idea innit?"

Industry insiders have pointed out that numerous other airlines, particularly one based in Coventry have already tried this approach, however The planes from the Valleys are confident they can make this business plan work where others have failed.

"Just got to have a bit of front, you have.." said the spokesman, "we have got a new phone system with ten random excuses for why you can't talk to management or accounts, and some bloody thick skinned Directors, we've got to be confident"


So there you have it folks.. a new and novel approach to aircraft operations.... :mad: !

SAA have already got a system similar to that where the money comes from compulsory donations.

Oh, sorry! That's called tax, isn't it...:E

Isn't it Dragon shooting season?:E
Still anymore than 4 Welshmen on a flight would form a choir and have an Eisteddfod.

Didnt think it would take long for "The national airline of Wales" to run short on cash. The Baby flights are not enough nor are the 3-5 pax on the LCY flights.

You know what the funny thing is??? I don't work for Servisair at Cardiff.

It was funny though to see Air Wales try and compete against KLM. Who's idea was that route??? And the Brussles. What was the higest load figures on those routes??? About 5 max per sector. Thats if there were enough punters for the flight to operate. So I'm not supprised that "extra" funding is needed. Still at least the Liverpool route has been advertised this time.;)
