Cornwall Council’s lead member for transport says he is “disappointed” that Loganair has decided to scrap its winter schedule from Newquay Airport. The airline announced yesterday that it was pulling 300 flights from Cornwall to destinations including Manchester and Edinburgh.
Philip Desmonde, Cornwall Council Cabinet member for transport, claimed that the decision to axe the flights was due to the airport’s “success” in securing the return of Flybe to the airport.
Loganair, the UK’s largest regional airline, said that all flights scheduled from Cornwall Airport Newquay from November to March would be scrapped. The airline has also announced that it is reducing its planned routes from Newquay for summer 2023.
