NEWQUAY
EZY may fill the LGW-NQY void, or they may choose to use the slots they have paid £20m for to operate more flights to existing or new more profitable destinations.
Whether they do or not, it's hard to see them operating a 156 seat minibus with Flybe's current frequency.

Back to my earlier post, what is needed is smaller aircraft with greater frequency, unless easyjet are going down that route I find it hard to see how anything the size they have or would want could provide a sustainable service on the Newquay route. It is the catch 22 I posted earlier.
Newquay to Shoreham anyone, I have the aircraft and operating licence....!

Newquay to Shoreham
Would that be Newquay to Brighton City Airport?
For London better off routing NQY to SOU, at least SOU has an airport rail station to London.
For international connections then perhaps NQY to MAN.

SOU might see something like a twice daily service in the summer and once in the winter to NQY if anything but I can't see it being maintained at its current frequency from there, as there is going to be less demand for point-point traffic and less connection options; (although if they time them right the likes of AMS, ORY, HAJ as well as some of the leisure routes to France, Spain, Portugal and Italy could be offered via SOU)

BE did launch NQY-SOU a few years ago and was quickly dropped, think it was due to operate on an ex BACON EMB
It might of even been dropped before it started I can't remember.

Two operators are talking to the airport about taking over the link and they might be??? Failing that happening I agree with Phileas that Manchester is probably the best place and for a host of European destinations I would just drive to Exeter not fanny about with another UK connection.
easyJet make Bristol to Newcastle work on an A319 and Newquay to Gatwick is only 40 miles shorter so don't rule it out. Especially with the new Bombardier C series rumoured..

Can't see ryanscare starting LGW-NQY ?
Frankly I'd just take the train and save yourself the rip off charges at NQY.
