So the reopening of the Stansted link? I imagine the airport has done a cost benefit analysis on the matter, hence, the route which would generate the most significant number I guess would be the Stansted link??
|
Don't understand why they haven't just come out and said STN if that's what the UK route is going to be ?
Suppose there is scope for other routes ? cs |
Stansted is most likely, but, what about a Manchester link too?
The MAN base is gaining at least 1 extra based aircraft next summer with lots of growth, and the numbers of NQY-MAN are increasing all the time. There are no really short sectors from MAN other than DUB, so, could be a handy gap filler too. Could mix things up a bit. |
I would of thought that the NQY domestic route will be STN in all honesty, however MAN or EMA could be possible, as pointed out the MAN numbers are rising each month. If they go for STN could BE operate alongside ? probably not, could BE operate summer season NQY-LCY or return to SEN with the route ? On the subject of MAN, i would fully expect the current Flybe operated route to go double daily next summer up from 10 weekly current summer season, however to fully make use of MAN for connections they would need to base a second aircraft at NQY and operate an early AM departure to MAN with an evening return in my opinion. cs |
From NQY's perspective a STN route would be more beneficial. A MAN route could push out BE and probably only run over the summer. The existing STN service is seasonal anyway, and FR will deliver far more pax.

LUTON MAYBE?
They could do a Luton service therefore not impinging both Stansted and Southend and would they get a ´´deal´´ as it would be a new route from Newquay, Just guessing.

Seems to of all gone a bit quiet again !
Anyone heard anything ? In other news the first of two S92A SAR choppers have now arrived at NQY. G-MCGY cs |
Council scraps £5 Newquay Airport 'development' fee
Council scraps £5 Newquay Airport 'development' fee - BBC News Development fee to be axed from March. cs |
Local radio reporting that there's an FR press conference tomorrow regarding NQY !!
cs |
Are EZY no longer flying to NQY? There's nothing available on their website?
|
Rough numbers here, but I'm figuring that to warrant a loss in the £430k annual revenue from the development fee, they would need as a minimum of 215k departing passengers with a fee of £2 each.. At this rate there would be very marginal extra costs, increased car park revenue and increased shopping in the outlets in the terminal, sustaining these and potentially driving airport revenue.
215k passengers would require a minimum of 3 daily departures...and prob a bit more. What's the chance of x2 daily STN, daily GLA and MAN... On most days and a seasonal but limited selection on sun routes ALC, FAO and AGP? |
I think the ADF was more productive during the last couple of years when PAX number were below 200,000, but now with the recent Flybe 'expansion' e.g. Birmingham, 10 x weekly Manchester in the summer and London STN as well as Aer Lingus to Dublin - passenger numbers have began to pick up again and the airport is therefore less reliant on the ADF with numbers reaching the 250,000 mark.
STN appeared to be successful so maybe be a candidate for FR along with ALC as flown previously? I would imagine that the airport may pick up a daily domestic and 2/3 summer seasonal such ALC or PMI. Easyjet don't appear to have released anything for S16 - but LPL was only flown in July and August. The Weekly Flybe UK domestics (EDI, BHD, NCL) seem to performed slightly under last years figures. LGW is regularly carrying 10,000+ passengers a month since the PSO introduction. Skybus have today released their S16 schedule with 3 daily departures to IOS (MONDAY - Saturday) at the minute - although more likely to be added later on as before. The departures are at 08:00, 13:50, 17:05 arriving back at NQY at 09:25, 12:35, and 18:35. Personally I hope FR fly NQY-AGP - but I know this is wishful thinking! |
If FR start STN again, I think we can safely say goodbye to the BE STN service for next summer.
|
The FR announcement will be interesting either way, I can see maybe a couple or 3 sun routes 2 or 3 times a week along with a UK domestic to provide the aircraft to operate the other routes unless of course they use a base outside of the UK to operate into NQY.
Flybe is going to be interesting over the coming 12 months or so, BE are getting to the stage where they could well look at making NQY a base, however winter routes are the problem to sustain a base at NQY. Interesting times ahead! cs |
broken just as I was posting the above.
No domestic route, 2 weekly FRA & ALC So no impact on Flybe at all. cs |
It is Frankfurt-Hahn and Alicante!
Both start 3rd April |
Frankfurt Hahn? Didn't see that coming!
|
I think the Hahn route is targeting the German inbound tourist trade.
|
Ah yes, as anyone who lives in or visits Cornwall regularly (esp. in Summer) will know it attracts a lot of Germans, so this looks like a clever move.
So no impact on Flybe at all. |
The Ryanair flights now are available to book.
