"If people want Flybe to stay around at NQY and keep their routes going then for goodness sake use them."
At the risk of going over old ground, the point is that Flybe will by the end of October have withdrawn everything from Newquay. A couple of summer-only routes finish as planned. One or two other summer-only routes (eg Southampton and Glasgow) either didn't start at all or stopped early. Edinburgh operated summer and winter last year - but has now been stopped for the winter. And Geneva, which was on sale for winter-ski, has been pulled.
This demonstrates the rather fragile nature of routes from Newquay - and contrary to your comment about supporting Flybe, actually the right thing to do is to support those airlines that operate from Newquay year-round - Ryanair, Air Southwest and Skybus. All credit to ASW in particular, who will operate this winter to nine destinations - Gatwick, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Newcastle, Bristol, Cork, Dublin, Grenoble. They can make these routes work on a year-round basis by operating smaller aircraft, and by combining flights with Plymouth. Cornwall should be thankful for Air Southwest's year-round operation - without them Newquay Airport would be pretty quiet in the winter!
