Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a'r Seilwaith (Ken Skates): The PSO aircraft was grounded on 22 October 2015 due to Links Air's AOC being suspended. No subsidy contribution was made to Links Air whilst the aircraft was grounded.
The PSO aircraft was grounded on 24 February 2017 due to Van Air's Foreign Carrier Permit being withdrawn by the CAA. No additional subsidy contribution has been made as a result of this action.
On both occasions, any additional costs to ensure the continued operation of the PSO by a third party operator were borne by the contract holder.
Andrew RT Davies (Canol De Cymru): A wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet gadarnhau pa gamau y mae wedi'u cymryd, os o gwbl, mewn cysylltiad â'r penderfyniad i gadw awyren Van Air Europe ar y ddaear a'r effaith a gaiff hyn ar Gyswllt Awyr Caerdydd-Ynys Môn? (WAQ73080)

Ken Skates: Van Air continues to hold the contract to operate the Intra Wales PSO between Cardiff and Anglesey, however to ensure service continuity this week, Van Air has sub-contracted the operation of the PSO out to Danish operator North Flying.
North Flying has full responsibility for the safe operation of the current PSO flights. The CAA is aware of this arrangement and has raised no issues with the Welsh Government. My officials are working with Van Air to ensure service continuity going forward and Van Air has confirmed that North Flying will continue to operate the route next week on its behalf.
This matter will continue to receive close attention from Welsh Government officials.

Andrew RT Davies (Canol De Cymru): A wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet gadarnhau pa effaith y mae'r penderfyniad i atal hediadau a gaiff eu gweithredu gan Van Air Europe wedi'i chael ar Gyswllt Awyr Caerdydd-Ynys Môn yn dilyn digwyddiad ar 23 Chwefror ar Ynys Manaw, a natur yr effaith honno, y costau cysylltiedig ac unrhyw gamau a gymerwyd i leddfu'r sefyllfa?

Ken Skates: Van Air continues to hold the contract to operate the Intra Wales PSO between Cardiff and Anglesey. To ensure service continuity, Van Air has sub-contracted the short term operation of the PSO out to Danish operator North Flying. North Flying has full responsibility for the safe operation of the current PSO flights. The CAA is aware of this arrangement and has raised no issues with the Welsh Government.
Service continuity is an ongoing priority and we maintain regular contact with both Van Air and the UK CAA – who are in open dialogue with each other. There has been no service disruption.
The service continues to run as normal and tickets for travel can still be booked via www.citywing.com.
The additional costs to ensure the continued operation of the PSO by a third party operator are being borne by Van Air.
My officials are working with Van Air to maintain service continuity going forward and Van Air has confirmed that North Flying will continue to operate the route next week on its behalf.
