"Maes Awyr Mon" buliding starts!

From the North Wales Daily Post

Work starts on £1m airport terminal for a north-south link

WORK on Anglesey’s first commercial airport is under way – bringing flights between North and South Wales a step closer.

The £1m terminal being built at RAF Valley will be managed by Anglesey County Council.

It is expected to be operational by mid-March with two 45-minute flights a day between the island and Cardiff.

Specialist company Yorkon was handed the building contract.

The airport will make use of existing runways at Valley – a busy training centre for RAF pilots – as well as the control tower and base’s fire service.

But last night a council spokesman stressed the airport will operate independently of the base.

The airport will be known as Maes Awyr Môn and has adopted a flying dragon as a logo

Great to see its finally going ahead, but at least now i’ll have commercial traffic near by :p

:EDIT: And before anybody asks, Maes Awyr Mon translates to Anglesey Airport 😎
