NEWQUAY

[Ian Brooks]

When I stayed just outside Penzance this summer ( did we have one ) there were so many Germans we almost seemed outnumbered

Is any airline going to take up flights to NCL in 2008? I'm sure there is a great potential there....MME seemed to do well.

What happened to Whoosh - they were suppose to do a Newquay - BHX/ Dundee but it has been taken off their website as well as NQY site

[Rubber Duck]

The County Council has had its State Aid Application approved by the EU to fund the transition of the Airport from Military to Civil use.

Great news for the Airport and the Cornish economy.

So the cheques still in the post then?

ASW have just announced this evening new flights from April 2008 to Newcastle and Glasgow

[Outoftheblue22]

As well as Newcastle and Glasgow, ASW have also announced Cork comes back daily from April 08, and a winter-only Chambery operation. Also from Plymouth to Newcastle, Glasgow, Cork, Dublin, Chambery. Great news for the far south west!

[Flying Farmer]

Ohhh well done ASW getting a few new routes in Cornwall, did you realise this was done at the expense of the Bristol base, more than a few guys now looking for jobs

[nivsy]

Heard the other day that the local authorities are not ready to take control of the airfield on date agreed and are asking MoD for assistance. Anyone else heard anything similar?

Hope everything is sorted otherwise these new routes won't be going ahead. I understand BE to be expanding at NQY, announcement due shortly. Possible competition with ASW plus maybe some newbies...

Watch this space.

[cornishsimon]

well there hasnt been anything on local press about any problems with the hand over or about any expansion plans for BE

do you have any suggestion as to what routes were talking about here ??

[ADC2604]

Couldn't say at this stage I am afraid - but a very good source suggests similar routes to ASW new announcements or possibly another international service..........I am piecing together some hints from a reliable source of mine.

Any new routes will be announced shortly so it is just a case of holding tight until then.....sorry

[cornishsimon]

looks like NQY has a new website, must of used BA'a spotty geeks to set it up as most of it doesnt work !

[toledoashley]

Any idea of a new route to Luton - the RE flight used to be quite handy for me.

[ADC2604]

I wish NQY would put live flight arrivals on their website - !!

[ADC2604]

Oh hold on they have - although its a shame the flights do not actually operate into NQY!

This is shown on the website:

The Airport is currently testing its new website to go live shortly, so hold your horses. Live flight information will be along shortly

[ADC2604]

good good - lets just hope that there are not spotters rushing to the airport to see a busy NQY apron - they will be sorely disappointed

[FS01]

NQY IOM thats a way to get a rumour going.... Its only just died don here about WOW operating a service next summer!
