I aqree with Groundhog, around an hour and half to typically get from Newquay Airport to Exeter but on a bad day ? Took me over two hours one day this summer to get from Truro to just south of Launceston.
Some reference to NQY airport staff and TUPE here earlier, I seem to recall hearing this summer that the airport employs 164 staff.
Cornwall Council until recently employed around 22000 staff - note I didn't say work for Cornwall Council ! I'd like to see the airport succeed but seems to me for it to remain in public ownership is going to cost the Cornish charge payer megabucks over the next few years.
