Is that good news? I mean, it’s better than nothing, but would a double daily not have been better for Cornwall even if it was to another airport? I’m sure Eastern and Logan to name two would have bitten the Government’s arm off right now for the chance. And how was this tendered?

Looks like Eastern Airways now taking on the ex flybe route from Newquay - Leeds/Bradford. Flights have just gone on sale commencing from July 9th 2020 operating 5x weekly MON-FRI using BAe Jetstream 41.

I’m a bit confused by this announcement.
LBA-NQY was subsidized under flybe wasn’t it ? European regional route fund or something ?
Had that already terminated when flybe went bust or is this a resumption of this and likely to be year round not seasonal ?
equally. Where’s the aircraft coming from ? Is this downtime from the LBA-SOU route or could it spell more expansion at LBA ?

Even under normal circumstances train fares are rarely cheap Leeds - Newquay.
A quick check for early July shows £160 return to be a positive bargain, and as viginblue says, they don't need many takers to fill a J41.
