"...It said the move was necessary because the route had been losing money for years and the new base would help cut journey times and save money...."
Mmm the move would cut atleast 3 minutes off the journey down to Lands End instead of Penzance from Bristol say.
It's going to be Newquay isn't it. No contest. Newquay International would welcome this service with open arms. Trouble is, could BIH afford the charges from this new airport. Catchment area is far better.
