easy - 20/02 NQy/LGW/NQY it will cost me twice as much to fly with ASW as Flybe so there is no contest. As for service if I were flying long haul I would care but on such a short flight only punctuality matters and I have no reason to think Flybe are any worse than ASW in this respect, but I guess someone will tell me different!!
the first rotation leaves NQY at 0725 and first from LGW is 0930, perhaps an aircraft to be based at NQY??
Bet ASW are pleased that Flybe won't be able to get in PLH?

Of course you are free to exercise your choice, but if everyone follows your example there is a risk ASW will disappear altogether, leaving Cornwall with a useless summer-only service (which, you can bet, will cost a darn site more than £60 return) to a single destination.
You will find that Flybe is one of the least reliable airlines in the sky (or, more accurately, on the ground). It does not give a stuff about NQY or Cornwall beyond trying to find itself monopoly routes on which it can gouge passengers with outrageous fares.
Enjoy your flight!

What of these 3 DH4 to be based at LGW? Any news on where they will be flying? Dundee maybe? Early Isle of Man, Jersey or Newcastle out of LGW? Euro destinations like Amsterdam? Paris? Surely they can't be thinking of using them to EDI and GLA, they would b E95 routes no?

Could not agree more WingoWango - everyone is entitled to an opinion, sadly even those that talk absolute drivel. Just a quick look at stats show they are not the worst airline in terms of reliability and punctuality but rarely would someone like ajamieson care to look at facts before posting

There is a gap in the schedule betwee the 1st and 2nd NQY-LGW flights. Is the aircraft likely to be doing something in this gap, such as EDI, or a new route from Newquay?

yes i would say that if they fly to schedule that there is time for one return hop between the 1035 arrival at NQY from LGW and the 1435 departure.
does this fit in with the pre published schedule for EDI etc ? or could we see something else ? doubt very much that they will potentially leave a q400 sat on the ground at NQY for 4 hours ?

Flybe announces intention to grow substantially at London Gatwick
So here comes the take over of the BA routes at LGW!!
Apart from the centre of the Conrnish universe, any ideas where could be next??
Paris, Geneva, Amsterdam????

dublindispatch somehow I think with FR operating 6 x daily and EI with BA Codesharing operating up to 6 x daily to DUB if BE went onto the route I don't think they could compete with the 2 Irish carriers fares.
LGW 08R - Regarding the MAN/LCY route where exactly has this info come from?. I doubt very much it will be coming soon as BACF don't have enough aircraft to cover their existing operation since Flightline went under.
Serenity- I can see them doing CDG and maybe BA giving them AMS but BA will never give up GVA totally the suspension of the LGW/GVA is summer only as BA makes alot of money on the route through the winter.
Cornishsimon - When it comes to the gap between 10:35 and 14:30 there wouldn't be enough time for the aircraft to go NQY/EDI/NQY. Say they did want to put the EDI in there. It would mean the flight would:
Depart NQY 11:00 Land EDI 12:40 then Depart EDI 13:05 Land NQY 14:50
So unless they change the 14:30 to a 15:15 departure. However it could go from NQY to JER,LBA and DUB in competition with WO. They could also operate to DCA, MAN, BHX, CWL, LTN, NWI, GCI, LPL, BES, RNS and at a push CDG in the time available. Also not forgeting they could add and extra LGW rotation. I guess only time will tell

well I think the embraer would be perfect for daily gatwick to knock. Considering that easyjet and Ryanair done well on the route when both of them operated it and Bearing in mind the economic downturn the embraer would be the ideal aircraft.

It would certainly be nice to see the aircraft do something in the time available, and would be nice to see it do a route not currently served from NQY, especially one not currently served by WOW.
LTN would be a good addition, which is a route served very briefly in the past.
RNS,BES,LPL AND GCI would all be nice to see, but i suspect the at LPL would do fairly well considering the expected growth in UK holidays and especially as this is not currently served from NQY
