Yeah didn't know the date that the switch back was due to take place !

Thanks for the info.

How have loads been at NQY on the Manchester ? I'm guessing good as its getting an extra Saturday rotation ?

Interesting to see the provisional stats for Feb 2014 for the NQY routes.

Knowing that the rail line was down I wonder how many of the punters will stay with air instead of rail.

NQY-LGW 11516 V 5658 in Feb 13
NQY-MAN 1804 V 1477 in Feb 13

Also IOS was up to 2918 V 1177, that's nothing to do with rail but LEQ was closed due to flooded runway !

All told surely it proves demand is there for NQY-LON ? I do however hope that those that switched will keep to air and help to make the London route viable.

Also worth noting that the NQY-MAN was only operating 4 weekly during Feb which is also very encouraging.

there is a demand for travelling London - Cornwall in both directions

how it is filled (air/train/car/bus) depends on price/availability/publicity

I'd expect some of the "new" air passengers to stick if they think they got a decent deal - but it has to be enough to keep a decent air service available

Just noticed on FR24 for MAN that NQY-MAN services now carry an EY codeshare.

That's got to be a good sign ?

EY NQY-MAN

Certainly not a bad thing, but it seems unlikely to be hugely successful in terms of passenger numbers.

On the assumption that people flying from Manchester to Abu Dhabi are predominantly using AUH as a transit point, passengers from Newquay would have to go through at least 2 transit airports to reach their destination in Asia, along with associated lost time with change of aircraft at each transit point.

Additional codeshares usually boost passenger numbers, but how many people are really going to be taking up this option ?

If we're talking flying from Cornwall to Asia then surely it is 2 stops whichever way you cut it (unless you mean NQY-MAN-HKG after Dec 8th?). Alternative is of course road/rail to LHR for a direct flight (depending on destination). Having said that you are probably right in suggesting that there won't be many per flight, but every little counts as they say.

Oh don't worry I know that there will only be a handful of people per year that use the EY codeshare into NQY via MAN but the point is that NQY is now an available destination on the EY website and is bookable by anyone or any travel agent. That cant be a bad thing !


Shame that they don't also offer AF codeshare on the BE NQY flights same as they do with other BE routes ex MAN.


NQY is also now available via the EK website who will offer connections on BE coded flights via the EK stations at BHX, MAN, EDI, LGW etc.


None of this isn't going to sustain NQY but being available on airline websites and via travel agents world wide cant be a bad thing !

Looks like NQY-MAN will remain daily on a NQY based aircraft at least as far as the schedule goes for the coming winter, so far the schedule goes as far as 5th jan 15.

TIM JEANS

Just to be a pedant and correct you. Flybe hasn't dropped the GLA, it's actually nothing whatsoever to do with Flybe. Loganair had sole ownership of the route, they just use our corporate identity as you know. It's not Flybe's fault.

Tim has many years experience in the business and will be an asset to Newquay Airport, respect where due please.... trouble is put O'Leary, Branson, Lord Sugar and The Pope in charge but it is still a tiny loss making regional airport with a hugely seasonal passenger requirement and little chance of any change.

The Council coming out with such continuous bullxxxx about vast expansion of passenger services just typifies where we are with committees and quangos.

Good luck Tim!

Flybe most certainly did operate it and then dropped it. Loganair took it up on their very own. Not sure what "Coffin" is getting at
