Flybe scoops lion's share of London Gatwick to Newquay market

06 April 2009

<New direct service scoops lion’s share of the market after just one month in operation>
Flybe, Europe’s largest and most successful regional airline, today revealed that its new service from London Gatwick to Newquay has been huge success. Its popularity, by providing the only direct service between the South West and the UK Capital, has not only led to the airline securing an impressive 56% market share after just a month but also towards the incredible 83% overall rise in passengers between the two destinations!

The triple-daily route, launched on February 15th, has clearly struck a positive chord with passengers to such an extent that Flybe has increased frequency on its Sunday service throughout the summer.
