Capital connection: Skybus will connect London Gatwick with Newquay in Cornwall - (Skybus)

Flights between Newquay in Cornwall and London Gatwick airport are set to resume this month. The link from Cornwall Airport Newquay to the Sussex airport was previously operated by Eastern Airways, which collapsed on 27 October.

Skybus, the airline of the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group, has won the “Public Service Obligation” contract and will take over the route from 23 November. Initially there will be a single daily flight: in the mornings on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays, in the late afternoon on the other days.
