The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has suspended Links Air's Safety Certificate amid concerns about the airline's safety protocols.
"The UK Civil Aviation Authority has suspended the safety certificate for UK airline Links air," a CAA spokesman said in a statement. "Safety is always our first priority and we will always take action when necessary to protect the travelling public."
Founded in 2009, Links Air had operated two Jetstream 31s - G-JIBO (cn 711) and G-LNKS (cn 772) - on twice-daily return flights between Cardiff and Anglesey, an island off the north west coast of Wales. The route is a Welsh government contract for which the airline secured a four-year extension in December of last year.
Until such time that another suitable operator can be found, Denmark's North Flying (NFA, Aalborg) has since taken over the route's operations employing a Metroliner.
