Would have thought that if Flybe pull out of Gatwick then easyjet would pick
up the route, if not I may just have to come out of retirement and see what can
be done....?
People in Cornwall go on holiday too, it is not just
business traffic, used Flybe just a week ago to return from the Gatwick after a
holiday in the Grenadines.
Totally agree with you, which Is why I have long held the view that an airline with onward connections to longhaul would work well for NQY/Cornwall. That's why I keep suggesting LHR-NQY and BA.
I know that's a pipe dream of mine alone, but knowing how difficult/time consuming it is to get from LHR-Cornwall im fairly certain that the route would attract a decent level of passenger support, however I fear yields would be a big problem.
It would be very upsetting to see BE leave the LON-NQY route after seeing off SZ, who did very well on the LGW route 4 daily.
But to be honest, as you say a market certainly does exist for NQY-LON as has been proven in the past when BA & SZ operated on the LGW route and FR operated STN-NQY double daily.
I cant see a time when the route wont be served, but hey ho, what do I know, im just an armchair observer
