L G Double - Yew is of course quite right the airport needs twelve months of the year flying, but thereby hangs the rub, in the Winter the traffic just isn't there. I go back commercially from Newquay to the 1960's and I am afraid it never has been, Granted things have improved in the last five years or so but we have a way to go yet before it is viable to operate much more than already exists especially in the current economic climate.

Scheduled routes will be started and others will be scrapped but overall we are probably near the top of the available market for now.
