Interesting conversation regards the Leeds route appeared on Newquay Airport's Twitter page 2 weeks ago after the new routes to Liverpool and Glasgow were announced.
Somebody asked them this question:
Newquay Airport replied with the following:
Somebody asked them this question:
@Newquay_Airport any news on when the new @flybe year round schedule route to @LBIAirport will be confirmed and flights released for sale?

Am assuming it wouldn't be too difficult to fit in LBA-NQY-LBA in the middle of the day in between Leeds' existing BHD-LBA-BHD schedule; probably move back the BE732 (late morning departure LBA to BHD) and operate LBA-NQY-LBA departing Leeds at 11:15?

Flybe have one aircraft which nightstops at LCY - it operates the first LCY-EDI of the day and the last back.
From what I recall, the schedules which appeared briefly in the booking engine were an evening lcy-nqy-lcy, so it would be my guess that flyBe were tinkering with the idea of dropping out the evening EDI flight during the peak summer and inserting NQY instead.
This is quite common practice at lcy where demand for business routes drops right off during the high peak summer - BA Cityflyer, for example, already switch frequencies quite extensively from business routes onto the French/Spanish/Greek leisure routings during this period.

It would appear that 2 Sunday Manchester rotations are operated by the Newquay E195 at 11:20 and 15:00 and there's a Dash flight at 10:35 (MAN-NQY-MAN) when LGW drops to 2 daily at weekends.

Hot Air?
Thought I'd jump to the defence of Newquay posters who are accused elsewhere of spouting a lot of 'hot air'
Let's compare this Summer with last:
LGW - upgrade to the E195
MAN - same
ABZ, LPL, DSA, GLA - new routes from Flybe
DUB - frequency increase
HHN, ALC - new routes from FR
DUS - upgrade from CRJ to 319/20
The only loss has been an eight week LPL season from EZY.
So much hot air? - I think not.

Where is everyone?
Has cornishsimon been cowed into silence?
I'm sure he would have posted: ADF is gone from today. E195 onto Gatwick and Manchester also today. Doncaster started on 24th March. Birmingham and Stansted back too. Ryanair to Alicante and Hahn from next weekend. Exciting times in the South West.

The airport management must be congratulated in getting the new routes and I have no doubt have given some sweetheart deals to attract them.
The proof of the pudding will be in a year or two times, we should get excited when we see which ones are still operating and contributing to the airport overhead.
It might be exciting for the spotters but from CCC and -Newquay's point of view it doesn't matter if there are 100 flights queued up to take off if they are not covering the overhead.

That's clearly very good news that the service is going from seasonal to year round albeit with reduced frequency.
But three weekly during very off peak season shows good commitment and probably positive advanced bookings to make it worth while.

Flybe online timetable indicates it will start 28th Oct with 3 weekly frequency (Tu, Fri, Sun).
The timetable also currently indicates that DSA will end when this starts.
Suspect this is Flybe making use of the Regional Routes Development fund.

The Germanwings DUS Summer service started last Saturday, and was operated by an A320.
I asked a question on another forum and was told that the inbound flight was full bar 1 seat. And it's not high season yet.
The same person also told me that loads on the Ryanair flights have been very good so far (with some fully booked).
Bodes well!

Does indeed sound very promising.
Cornwall-Germany is a huge market. Tbh I'm surprised that LH group or flybe haven't jumped onto other German routes and I'm surprised that the DUS is still 1 weekly, DUS has previously been 2 weekly with a CRJ plus a mainline 735 if my memory hasn't completely failed me !
I would expect 2017 will see either LH group adding German destinations or if flybe add to the NQY based E95 to see flybe on German routes ex NQY.
I understand that th current flybe NQY based E95 is doing good numbers to both LGW and MAN so this is also very encouraging. I suspect of numbers continue to rise that we will see MAN go double daily for summer17 with morning and evening rotations to open up the full range of connections available at MAN BE-BE/VS/EK etc

Hello
Would welcome some advice about NQY as a passenger...
Thanks
Would welcome some advice about NQY as a passenger...
- location of Europcar rental desk and car return spot?
- expected time for delivery of luggage?
- any quirks on check-in/security/departure?
- Is one hour check-in with luggage, more than adequate?
- time and distance from car rental return place to check in?
Thanks

Espada III - some advice for your trip!
- Rental desk and return is the same location - turn right out of arrivals, and its the building right in front of you
- Luggage comes quick - within 5 mins of arrival
- No real quirks - efficient, although very thorough, just use plenty of trays :-)
- One hour check-in is more than enough - even with luggage
- 2 mins will easily see you from the car hire block to check in
The airport is tiny and now geared up for the summer season - you'll fly through - i fly to London each week and from arrival in the car park to the gate is max 10 mins, so easy to navigate.

Really not a good week for flybe on the BE801-806 & 354/5 rotations.
Everything delayed +++ most of the week.
What's the answer to solving these issues ? These routes must be some of the worse performing in flybe currently.
