I do respect and admire your support for your local airport across several aviation related forums. However, you may need to accept that in these austere times air services from Newquay will not expand and may even shrink in the future. Domestic air travel will probably never see the kind of activity we saw in the 90s and early 2000s. If there was money to be made airlines would be there, but there isn't so they are not. Airlines exist to carry passengers and cargo but need to make money. If they do not, they go bust.


Some people also seem unable to move on from the demise of Air Southwest. Unfortunately it lost money so went under. If the routes that they flew made money, other airlines would have stepped in, or Air Southwest would itself have been viable and still flying. It's no good blaming other airlines or dreaming up conspiracy theories.
I do not mean to come across as antagonistic but the constant suggestions on these forums for airlines to open this route and that route at times bear no relation to economic reality.
