Anglesey to Isle of Man flights confirmed for summer 2011

Flight company Manx2.com have announced that their summer 2011 schedule will include the popular Anglesey to Isle of Man route which they trialled last year.

The low budget carrier which is based in the Isle of Man, plans to run the summer service between Anglesey and their home airport up to three times a week from 1st June. The decision was based on excellent take-up and feedback on last year’s service.

Welsh Transport Minister and local AM Ieuan Wyn Jones said that the return of the route was a real boost for tourism and good news for Anglesey. “I'm sure it will be welcomed by many,” he went on to add.

The flights linking the Isle of Man with Anglesey, is the second Welsh venture for the Manx airline, as last year they won a four year contract from the Welsh Assembly Government to operate flights between Anglesey and Cardiff.

Anglesey council leader, Councillor Clive McGregor, said the flights had proved very popular last year and offered the chance to boost tourist numbers for both island communities.

“It means we can get to know our Celtic neighbours on the Isle of Man a bit better as well as potentially bringing more visitors to us here on Anglesey,” he added.

The flights will begin on 1st June and run throughout the summer until 5th September. Initially services will depart every Friday and Monday, with an extra flight every Wednesday from 22nd July.
