Well this is a Newquay thread after all but totally agree with you that there is no need or reason to operate the chopper from St Mawgan. There is no need from Lands End either. If the service survives it can only be from Penzance or very close to it. Sorry NQY but in the unlikely event it ever did happen it wouldn't last five minutes.
I promise not to repeat it again but NQY will only secure a profitable future by attracting ancilliary aviation related or other businesses. It will not please the spotters but that is the cold hard fact.
Spending millions on a new terminal, expensive consultants or re-arranging the deck chairs is not going to make it profitable.
