Large headlines in Wales on Line regarding the new service from Swansea to Exeter, no name of the airline mentioned, nothing new in the article other than what has previously been discussed on here, but it does bring the contents to the attention of the general public.

Well if they can put investment into it and get CAA certified I think it would be yes. I don't see Swansea being a scheduled/charter airport like Cardiff but potentially it could be a general aviation airfield.
