You’re right. It’s there this morning (I must get out more!). 10 airlines operating from Newquay this summer is great for the airport and Cornwall. Half a million passages this year? 1989

Additional frequency to Alicante. 4th weekly flight commences 2nd July until end of S ‘24.Sorry to see that Jonathan Hinkles has departed Loganair. He was a great supporter of Newquay, especially immediately after the flybe collapse.

Specifically on the point of NQY though, he did have a bit of a rant when they allowed Flybe 2.0 to compete on the NQY-MAN route, which Loganair was already serving at the time.

Yes, I too am sad/surprised to see Mr Hinkles depart from Loganair so suddenly, however he's a shrewd businessman and must/will do whatever is right for himself; I believe that he's left Loganair in a far better condition than it was in when he became CEO and I have an immense amount of respect for him - unless anyone is willing to say something that would give me reason to think otherwise...!?

And with the benefit of hindsight, I think called it probably bang on. That route won’t support two airlines over winter, the relaunch date planned in advance predicted Flybe Mk2’s failure within a couple of weeks and it sent a clear message to Newquay Airport!

Big step up for the Edelweiss service this summer. Season now starts in May and a second flight on Wednesdays is added from mid-June. I can’t think of a better example of how the airport is benefiting Cornwall’s economy.

Not such great news from easyJet. They’ve dropped all departures in October on Manchester, and the increased frequency in July/August is going too. If ever, there was an opportunity for Loganair to go double-daily, it’s now.

There’s a huge gap in the market here ready for loganair to find a couple of frames to base at Nqy.
Manchester supports around 8k passengers per month during peak season. Shouldn’t be hard to run x3 daily with an early ex Nqy and late back with a middle of the day
open a base and run the other routes ex Nqy ? Add in LBA, EMA, AMS …..

Stellar performance from the February CAA Stats. Nearly 23k passengers, 107% up up on February’23 - easily the best in the country. Rolling year is up to 424k passengers. New winter services to Stansted, Malaga and Faro, plus additional Dublin frequencies have driven most of the growth. Clouds on the horizon: easyJet pulling Manchester from the end of September; Belfast ending mid-September and no EIR Dublin on sale for winter 24/5.

Interesting that they do not appear to be considering a sale of the site, which would almost certainly result in purchase by a developer who would permanently close it and build on it, be it houses or business facilities like at DSA. This seems to be a way of offloading it without losing the airport as a strategic asset.
