A link between Newcastle and Cornwall has been severed as Scottish airline Loganair has suspended its operations at Cornwall Airport Newquay.
The four weekly flights between Newcastle International Airport and Newquay are among the 300 flights scheduled that have now been withdrawn, alongside daily flights from Newquay to Manchester and Edinburgh. Loganair, which is the UK's largest regional airline, announced the news on Bank Holiday Monday, August 29, that its operations are completely suspended from Cornwall between November 2022 and March 2023, reports CornwallLive.
The company called it a "further blow to Cornwall's connectivity," with summer routes linking Cornwall to another regional airport, Teesside, also not returning in 2023. It means those wishing to take public transport from Newcastle to Newquay are now faced with a train journey of at least nine hours with a change in London, as opposed to a direct flight of 85 minutes.
