§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list all the new air routes that have been established linking Cardiff-Wales airport with other European destinations during 1991 and to date in 1992; and what progress has been made by his Department in the development of further new air routes linking Wales with mainland Europe.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsNew European air routes established out of Cardiff-Wales airport during 1991 and to date in 1992 are as follows:
149W1991—Scheduled
- Belfast City
- Brussels
- Dublin
- Düsseldorf (subsequently cancelled)
- Guernsey
- Isle of Man
- Jersey
- Paris
1992—Scheduled
- Aberdeen
1992—Chartered
- Turkey
- Channel Islands
- Lyon
- Series of European city day trips (Berlin, Vienna, Rome).
The development of further air routes is primarily for the commercial judgment of the airlines and the airport management. However, I understand that new scheduled services to Düsseldorf and Stuttgart may be introduced by the spring of next year.
