Cornwall Airport Newquay increasing links to other parts of UK with flybe return

Regional airline flybe is returning to Cornwall Airport Newquay as the region increases links to other UK locations. The airline will launch a 12-times weekly connection (double-daily Monday to Friday) to London Heathrow, while also adding a daily link to Manchester.

With both year-round routes flown using 78-seat Q400s, the significant network expansion will provide an additional 1,485 weekly domestic seats from Cornwall Airport Newquay (CAN) this winter. Maintaining non-stop access to Europe’s busiest hub, and increasing links to the heart of northwest England, is a major development for the Cornish airport.

Airport boss Sam O’Dwyer said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming the new flybe as our 10^th airline partner at Newquay. With daily flights to both London Heathrow and Manchester starting this winter, these new routes will add much needed extra capacity as well as additional options for passengers on two of our major markets.”
