New domestic air routes for Cornwall
Air Southwest is expanding from Cornwall with four new routes from Newquay.
The low fare airline is to serve Newcastle, Glasgow and Cork next summer and run flights to Chambéry, gateway to the French Alps, for winter 2008.
The carrier is offering 10,000 seats on the flights to Glasgow and Newcastle at £35 and £30 to Cork, including taxes.
The flights will operate year-round and start on April 28 next year with the exception of Chambéry, which will operate during the ski season and go on sale later.
The new flights to Glasgow, Newcastle and Cork will operate daily.
The Chambéry service will run on Saturdays between December 20 next year and March 28, 2009 priced from £35 including taxes.
Air Southwest already flies four times a day, seven days a week from Newquay to Gatwick and has regular flights to Manchester, Leeds/Bradford, Bristol and Dublin.
The airline’s chief executive Jim Cameron, chief executive of Air Southwest, said: “This is a major expansion of Air Southwest’s services from Newquay and cements our position as Cornwall’s own airline, offering year-round services to popular destinations.
“We continually evaluate new route opportunities and are confident that our new routes and additional flights will be popular with business and leisure passengers.”
Malcolm Bell, chief executive of South West Tourism, said: “For years we have seen a reduction in visitors to the far South West from the North East and Scotland because people on short breaks don’t want to travel for more than half a day and coming by car or the train takes too long.
“These new services provide an air bridge back to some of our traditional markets that have been denied to us for two decades and it’s great news for the region.”
