This maybe a Newquay thread but a contributing factor to NQY struggling is the closure of PLH and Airsouthwest. When it was announced that PLH was closing there were people in Newquay rubbing their hands together thinking that Airsouthwest would just move down to NQY despite plenty of people warning them it would not be good for NQY in the long term. NQY and PLH needed each other for most of the scheduled routes as there was just not the population and demand for them to make it work on their own.
NQY management jumped into bed with Flybe too quickly and it looks like they are going to pay for it now. You reap what you sew guys
There needs to be a reality check here.
The chances of PLH opening again are pretty much zilch as PCC are not interested and just play lip service to the viable group.
The chances of a Heathrow link again are zilch.
The best the Newquay can hope for is a link to Southend if they are lucky.
They must be losing hand over fist and have been for a while from what i understand
Spot on traffic
