is there really sufficiant customers to warrent another operator flying NQY-LGW ?

currently we have 4x WOW (Winter) / x5 (summer) using dh8-300

1 x BA using 737-300/500 /A320

wouldnt of thought that it needed more flights but im willing to be proved wrong!

unless someone is trying to either get WOW or BA off the route
Well;

Air Southwest have the flexibility on times throughout the day but are usually VERY expensive. Okay..Okay, the £39.00 fares can be found BUT who books flights to London from Cornwall 6 months in advance? Some do, but I bet most bookings are looked into closer to the time.

BA have the cheaper fares but have butt ugly flight timings, and therefore crap connections onto their LGW network.

Could/Would Flybe operate some suitably timed flights to connect onto, say for example the new BA LGW-JFK flight that starts shortly. I'm unsure on how far Flybe and BA codeshares work in that sense...
