Aviation Man, the Assembly have been given powers to fund routes like Scotland, and i feel it will be for us Welsh, as the road and rail links are apauling! Tho the only trouble is where to fly from Cardiff to?

Carenarfon- Too small at the mo to accomodate anything bigger than a DO328, and liknks to it, well wot links 😀 I’ve been there to do some flying lessons, and to get there, we got lost, as the roads were so bad!

Llanbedr- Tho it has a nice long runway, it is in the middle of nowhere! There is a railway station a few metres away, but road connections are poor again

Valley- Best bet for investment. Ryanair has shown interest in making it a commercial airfield (Could be called Dublin East 😀 or Liverpool West :D), good road links(A55), good rail links (West Coast main line), tho its a very busy RAF base, and could be had to fit in both together?

Hawarden- One reason why it won’t work, is too close to MAN and LPL.

So there we have it, a small description of the possible North-South link in Wales.

Valley is in the papers v often with RYR so u never know! I could have a commercial airport within a 50 mile radius to me in a couple of years! 😀

So you would have about an hour outside DUB airport? Seems little point in that…

Wooot! Meet the guys, and get a 732! Not a waste of time mate! 😀 Andrew, looks like i’f i am coming, i’ll be there roughly 11:45? Tho i’ll need to be back for check-in bout 2pm, but it will be worth it 😉

I’ve checked Ryanair and its £40 returm for me from MAN, i’ll see wot i can do
Just to tell u i’d get on the 11:05 flight and go back on the 15:30 as i can’t get to and from MAN early or late 😡

LOL! The synical knee-jerk reaction by BMI management to the introduction of service by Go at EMA is finally being seen to have backfired. BMI was never going to make a success of Baby on the key routes at EMA, although it might just have worked serving bucket-and-spade destinations only. The sooner the Baby throws all of its toys out of its pram at EMA the better for the airport and the customers who fly from there regularly.

Andy

Exactly! They thought they could get rid of Go, but didn’t happen, Go/Easy has grown from strength to strength there, whilst i’m afraid baby has ust taken a back seat @ EMA

Nice to hear to had a good time with bmi!
Mark told me all the details. got to say bmi crews like to have us on their decks after landing, they r so friendly as i found out at LHR!
