Thanks for that MV... flew the usual from BRS to BRU the other day and FULL both ways, SN reduced fares!
I just spent twenty minutes typing a reply to this thread then lost it all .gggrrrrr
We can all talk about Ryanair cutting a rotation, Monarch withdrawing, Air Wales starting a route that doesn't stand a cat in hells chance and then all of them blaming it on the £5 levy but that is re-arranging the deckchairs on the titanic, the facts are these.
Newquay Airport is a regional airport at the far end of the country where the cost of living is high and the wages low. There are probably a greater proportion of locals here that haver never left the county let alone the country than anywhere else in the UK. The catchment area is small and just up the road is Exeter with its low cost carriers and range of services.
The airport will never sustain anything other than a handful of flights and until the council act on introducing other activities to fund the place the bucket will continue to leak until all the water eventually runs out!
Now about turning down basing the EFA at Newquay because of the noise......
