LinksAir New Operator of the
North-South Wales Air Service
UK regional airline, Linksair, has commenced
as the new operator of the North-South Wales
air service between Cardiff-Wales Airport and
Anglesey Airport (RAF Valley).
The twice-daily weekday air service taking under
an hour to get between Cardiff and Anglesey, is
available from only £19.00 one-way including
taxes and charges, in a programme supported by
the Welsh Government to aid connectivity between
the South and North of the country for business or
leisure purposes.
When announcing Linksair as the governments
new preferred partner late last year, Edwina Hart,
Transport Minister for the Welsh Government,
said: “I am committed to improving business
connectivity throughout Wales to promote
economic growth. This service does that and
creates more tourism opportunities by greatly
reducing journey times between north-west
Wales and Cardiff. I am also pleased that we have
managed to reduce the cost to the taxpayer on this
contract.
Our research shows that the majority of passengers
are using the service for business and they use it
because it saves time. We have responded to their
feedback by providing a later return flight in this
new contract to allow more time for business. The
service has also proved popular for leisure and
tourism and I hope the new flexible ticket options
will encourage more of these passengers.”
LinksAir who have now been operating from
Cardiff for two years, will shortly announce new
Cardiff connections to this service that joins the
Energy Island of Anglesey and North-Wales to the
countries aviation hub at Cardiff and the South of

Wales as part of a fresh new marketing campaign
to increase passengers on this vital economic
Wales air link.
Commercial Manager for the airline, Roger Hage,
added “We at Linksair are delighted to have been
appointed by the Welsh Government to now both
operate and sell this vital economic Wales air link
from allowing us to add a combination of low
fares, flexibility in booking, quality service and
new routes in the new year to add to the Cardiff
to Anglesey (RAF Valley) service with its Energy
Island developments and leisure importance.
We are delighted to be adding this service to our
scheduled network alongside our increasing charter
and contract flying”.
Initially the schedule will offer an 0740 & 1625
departure from Cardiff to Anglesey on Monday
