To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what progress is being made to establish (a) inter-Wales air services and (b) scheduled air services from Swansea Airport.
The Welsh Assembly Government announced plans for an air service linking north and south Wales in December 2004. It is working to start the service towards the end of 2006 or early in 2007.
When the Assembly first announced plans for an intra-Wales air service, it supported, in principle, a Swansea-Cardiff-Valley route. I understand that it has not proved possible to include Swansea in the network in a way which would ensure a reliable service. In the circumstances, the Assembly has decided to focus on the Cardiff to Valley service but will keep the situation at Swansea under review.
