The
public pay £1.2m a year to subsidise the unpopular air service from Cardiff
Airport to Anglesey in North Wales.
The
Labour-run Welsh Government insisted on heavily subsidising the cost of running
the route, with tickets starting at just £29.95.
But
the flight has been a huge flop with around 100 people using it every week -
costing the public £86 for each passenger.
Transport
chiefs today called for a "comprehensive marketing programme" to
boost passenger numbers.
Darren
Millar AM, chair of the National Assembly's Public Accounts Committee, said:
"We remain concerned that this service is underperforming when it comes to
providing value for money for the Welsh
taxpayer.
