The twice-daily flights between Cardiff and Anglesey have been suspended, prompting questions about the route's long-term future.
A LinksAir spokeswoman said the Welsh government-subsidised service was out for tender but no contract had been signed with another airline.
Flights are expected to be suspended until February 8 at the earliest.
Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies said the long-term prospects for the route were "under a cloud".
The Welsh government has been asked to comment.
Licence revoked
The twice-daily return flights, running since 2007, get a £1.2m annual subsidy.
An assembly committee report warned in July 2014 that the north-south air link was underperforming.
AMs were told that in 2012-13 passenger numbers for the route were 8,406, down from 14,718 in 2008-09.
In June 2015, LinksAir reported a 40% increase in passenger numbers for the first six months of the year, compared to the same period in 2014.
However, in October, LinksAir had its safety licence revoked by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) "to protect the travelling public".
Danish company North Flying took over the operation of the route on behalf of the company, which is based at Doncaster-Sheffield airport.
Andrew RT Davies
Reacting to news that flights had been suspended, Mr Davies said it showed an "absolute shambles at the heart of the Welsh Labour government".
"Whilst you can debate the merits of the investment which has gone into the North-South air link, it's very difficult to justify the way they have handled recent developments," he said.
"First the airline lost its safety certificate, unbeknownst to the minister. Now we find that the route has once again suspended with no new operator in sight, despite more than a million pounds a year having been pumped into it.
"The minister should issue an urgent statement updating the public. To suspend the route without having secured a replacement operator puts the long term sustainability of the route under a cloud."

Good news. Surely North Wales AM's can pool a car together to the capital instead of this expensive vanity project!

It was a strange route in that it went to the middle of nowhere!

The Labour WAG don't seem to be able to manage media stories any more.

They seem to be in constant reaction mode, the story broke on the BBC News Online as the lead story that flights by Linkair were suspended.
Then two hours later someone rings them up from the WAG and says Citiwings have stepped in, surely they must have known this in advance and issued a press release or are they in constant panic mode?
Same thing happened a few month back when the Air Licence was revoked on the same ill-founded route

I would love for the BBC Wales/S4C to do a "thick of it" from the Assembly.
"ei chanol hi"
Sadly they would not dare, as they all feed from the same trough.

Is it too late for me to submit a screen play for the last episode?

Plot:
The fictional language "Yak Speak" TV station viewing figures are declining alarmingly. The Nationalist Party leader who sadly has only done Yak Speak for beginners miss-read an invitation to host a show, to boast audience figures. She now finds herself presenting the overnight "Yak de Yak GayBLT" which is knock out gay sandwich making competition. Bizarrely, the other three main party leaders were the only ones watching and have now changed their opinions on the Nationalists! The episode ends with all party talks on a grand Rainbow Coalition.
