Russell George AM/AC, the Shadow Minister for Transport, commenting on troubled airline Flybe, said:
"The collapse of Flybe is devastating news for their dedicated staff and loyal customers.
"There will be major implications for Cardiff Airport where the majority of flights from Cardiff are with Flybe, and the route between Anglesey and Cardiff is run by Flybe.
"I urge the Welsh Government to work fast to secure options to replace the routes with other operators and secure jobs for staff as well as supporting Cardiff Airport.
“As a flagship enterprise – a state-owned entity – of this Welsh Labour Government, the same government’s reaction and policy now is more vital than ever.“
