Air Wales will be based at the renamed Pembrey West Wales Airport from where flights will be routed to Stanstead or Luton.

Air Wales director Captain John Howard Evans is confident the service will be a success. "There is a huge market. We have carried out route analysis and have found there are over 1,000,000 people who travel from this part of the world to London every year," said Captain Evans. "A great deal of those go by train or road and 350,000 are travelling to Heathrow or Gatwick." ![]() |
