MANX2.com celebrated its first Anglesey to Isle of Man flight by making a presentation to members of RAF Valley.

The company gave a hamper of Manx products to Wing Commander Glenn Cockerill and Squadron Leader Mark Byrne.

It included produce by Isle of Man Creamery, handmade chocolate from Cocoa Red in Port St Mary and Bushy’s beer - and they also received a Celtic tankard.

The flights leave every Friday and Monday until September 6.

Squadron Leader Mark Byrne said: "Royal Air Force Valley is delighted to play a part in assisting Manx2.com's initiative in establishing additional services to and from Anglesey Airport.

"We believe that there is much to be gained and we wholeheartedly support the aspiration to bring more people to see what Anglesey and North Wales has to offer.

"Equally, the service gives the people of North Wales a wonderful opportunity to be able to visit the Isle of Man and experience the unique atmosphere and way of life of a close Celtic neighbour."

Manx2.com chairman Noel Hayes said: "We are delighted to be able to offer passengers a unique opportunity to visit Anglesey by air.

"With such a beautiful destination only 50 miles across the Irish Sea, this summer season special is perfect for those who are keen to experience all Anglesey has to offer, whether it be for a weekend break or the chance to re-connect with friends and relatives.

"We have been greatly encouraged by the support of RAF Valley, Isle of Anglesey County Council and all our Welsh contacts and look forward to continuing to bring the Manx2.com formula so successfully to Wales."
