ABERDEEN LIVERPOOL FLIGHTS AXED DUE TO LACK OF DEMAND

Air Wales said yesterday it had now stopped flights on the Aberdeen-Liverpool route because of a lack of demand.

It said the service - launched last November - did not receive the level of take-up expected and was no longer viable.

It said: "We are introducing a service to Newcastle which, like the Liverpool flight, continues on to Cardiff and Plymouth.

"We believe the Newcastle route will have a wider appeal to both the leisure and business audience.

"We have every confidence that the rationalisation of the Aberdeen-Liverpool service will pave the way for us to further grow the airline and enable us to offer even more competitively priced and convenient services to our customers."

The Aberdeen-Newcastle service starts tomorrow and there will be two flights a day, six-days a week, however, Air Wales will face competition on the route to north-east England. Eastern Airways already flies between Aberdeen and Newcastle.
