Flights to Newquay

With the clocks going back this weekend, many airlines are changing flight times and in some cases, cutting routes on their Winter Schedules.

With the warm sun fading on Cornwall’s beaches, flights to Newquay Airport will be reduced until the Summer schedules start in March 2010. Flights from some destinations  will stop altogether while others will be changing departure times.

There will be no further services from the Isle of Man and Edinburgh will have no air link to Newquay Airport with Flybe until late March 2010. Jet2 will be stopping the only flights from Belfast until May 2010 and the connection between Birmingham and the West Country with bmibaby will be cut completely.

The colder weather however does offer the opportunity of a new route if you are flying from Newquay. Grab you Skiing gear and head for the Dauphine Alps.  Air SouthWest  are now taking bookings for direct flights to Grenoble and the French mountains, with a weekly service from late December.

So if you are planning a flight to Newquay especially this Christmas, make sure you check our revised Timetables.

Newquay Cornwall Airport has just been honored with the prestigious ERA (European Regional Airline Association) Airport Achievement Award for 2009/10. The award was given in recognition of the Cornish Airport’s remarkable achievements from April 2008 to March 2009.

The European Regions Airline Association (ERA) is the principal body representing air transport in Europe. Founded in 1980 with just 5 members, ERA has grown since 1987, to represent 181 companies and is the only body representing the interests of the regional air transport industry in Europe. Members include 59 regional airlines, 25 airports and 97 associate and affiliate members comprising aircraft & engine manufacturers, international & regional airports and avionics suppliers & service providers.

The judges were particularly impressed by the transition of the Airport which had been highly complex and required significant new infrastructure to be built or upgraded to meet the Airports’ operating requirements. The works were all undertaken whilst the Airport continued to operate for both military and civil commercial aircraft.

Accepting the Award , Al Titterington, Newquay Cornwall Airport’s Operations Director said: “This endorsement, coming from the aviation industry, is extremely appreciated. The judges understand the airport business well and will appreciate the effort and dedication of all those at Newquay Cornwall Airport who worked so hard to make our transition from military to civilian airport such an outstanding success.”
