BEE won't be operating to GLA, NCL, LPL or DSA next Summer (as already mentioned, LOG are picking-up GLA and NCL),
although JER/GCI (operated by BCI) will continue.
In addition to LHR, it doesn't look like BHX or BHD are yet released for S19 (these are not on their cancelled routes list)
Doesn't look like SAS are coming back.

SAS is onsale 2 weekly Monday and Friday from the 26th June to 11th August 2020.
Eurowings has Dusseldorf onsale 1 weekly Saturday from May to September 5th.
And Stuttgart operates from 23rd May to 15th September 1 weekly Saturday.

BHX-NQY
 

BHX was part of the initial release but greatly reduced. I find the Flybe website absolutely useless but it seems to start Monday 25 May four times a week, then a Saturday is added in August.

It seems to end at the end of September.

Is the PSO a public document? Could Virgin Connect replace LHR flights with SEN flights and still meet the obligation? PSO’s are an EU transport law creation, when does the current one expire? Will an equivalent subsidy be put in place post Brexit? Obviously Virgin would prefer to use the LHR slots for their widebodies. Was it a mistake to move from LGW?

I don't think that the authorities would pay them money to fly to Southend. The whole point of shifting to Heathrow was to get better connectivity to Cornwall as Heathrow provides them with access to a major hub. Flying to southend would be a waste of money.
As for the slots I believe that they are from the BA remedy pool and not Virgin Atlantic ones.

If passengers want to travel long haul come up to Manchester plenty of routes and growing

Manchester doesn't offer as much option as Heathrow does.

Looks like the Council have agreed the £12 million for the spaceport today, another step nearer.

I am flying long haul BA business class from LHR next week and have chosen to simply rent a car and drop it at LHR here is why.

For two of us and masses of baggage, to drive from home to NQY ( I live West of it), check in, take the flight, collect my baggage at LHR involves an elapsed time of at least three hours and leaving my car at NQY for a month or an expensive taxi to get there.Now add the two hours I would arrive early for my departing flight, that is five hours. This involves offloading the bags at NQY and collecting them again at LHR rather than just putting them in the back of the car and the nice man from Hertz loading them on his bus and dropping me by the terminal door. Yes it will take me an hour or so longer overall to drive but I can time it to arrive exactly when I want and save a shed load of money in the meantime. LGW on the other hand was much longer to drive to and therefore to me a closer decision.
I would certainly look at MAN, GLA, DUB or anywhere else if the timings were right but none of these offer a proper business class service to YVR.
( before anyone has a go at me I know BA/AC do not fly from LGW either!)

Thanks Simon, good point never thought of that.

" I can time it to arrive exactly when I want"

please tell me the secret of being able to forecast exactly how the traffic around Exeter, Bristol and LHR can be forecast to allow this?

My travel times by car from LHR to mid Cornwall have varied from 3:45 to 6:30 over the last year..............

Asturias56. Of course I can't tell you in advance whether my drive will be delayed any more than I can tell you whether my flight will be delayed, nor can I tell you next weeks lottery winning numbers.
Logic dictates you leave in plenty of time, then adjust your speed and route of progress accordingly, not so hard to do with modern technology.
What you do highlight with that comment is the added flexibility of driving over flying, if there is adverse weather for instance I can just set off earlier or even the day before, you can't necessarily do that when you have a flight booking you are committed to.
My journey times to LGW have been between 5 and 10 hours, LHR 4 hours and 7 hours....hence the reason I say LGW was more beneficial to me than LHR.

But I want to fly from the UK to Canada having my flight from NQY a day later isn't going to help. The car question is why I always do a rental with Hertz apart from not wanting to leave my own car at the airport for s month.
just checked the fare one way for our dates with four bags two people and the cost is over £350

That's my point - whatever method you use you have to take a view on possible delays - if I MUST be somewhere I travel a lot earlier (a day extra for intercontinental trips) than if "it would be nice to arrive at..."

Driving to/from Cornwall can be a very pleasant experience - but it can also be the third circle of hell. Overall the train is best - but until they put in the Reading- LHR link connection it's not very good for connecting.

Hard to damn the air connection on those grounds IMHO

Certainly not damning the air connection, I have used it in the past and will again BUT the onward travel circumstances have to be right to fit in. I was a great advocate of LHR but every time I have looked at using it the fares have been prohibitive or the timings do not connect.

I and a few others had a bit of a rant at NQY on their FB page yesterday afternoon. Perhaps this is the result.

This is the Airport's most important route, run by it's biggest airline operator, and yet there seemed to be a complete lack of certainty - at least from a communication perspective - from both parties about it's status after the Winter-Summer schedule change near to the end of March.

If it is continuing (and the PSO says it should, although it shouldn't be assumed that everyone knows that) you would think that Flybe would want to sell tickets for the period after 28th March.

Or (cynical hat on) is it a ploy to release later, and push fares up!

This was also posted on their FB page yesterday afternoon after some of the questioning by myself and others....

An interesting observation - there has been a lot of lobbying for the route to go back to LGW!

I don't think that aligns with the global connectivity mantra as well as LHR though.

if you live in Cornwall be thankful you can connect with anywhere else TBH

Let's be honest - there isn't a vast number of massive exporting businesses in the area is there?

Flybe to drop NQY to LHR and return back to LGW operations according to the BBC news.

Guess that opens the door for Willie Walsh to do his NQY/LHR high season that he offered .... :ugh:

I would think the lobby to go back to LGW is that many local folk want to go on their holidays with package tour companies where LHR does not offer choice to that many

Not exactly the point of a PSO...

Regulation 1008/2008 says:

may impose a public service obligation in respect of scheduled air services between an airport in the Community and an airport serving a peripheral or development region in its territory or on a thin route to any airport on its territory any such route being considered vital for the economic and social development of the region which the airport serves.

Looks like Manchester is twice daily Mon - Fri and Sun and one flight on a Sat so 13 per week.

Maybe not but a lot of the feedback on NQY's social media channels is as rog747 stated. There was a clammer to return to LGW mainly for connection to the EZY network.

Thanks, exactly my point- IIRC when Ryanair operated the NQY-STN route many local pax clamoured to connect onwards at STN with FR, EZY and TCK and Thomson's Etc...
Same as the ''want'' now again for LGW it would seem

That might be so - just not a suitable case for taxpayers support!

"Also Manchester up to 18 per week. X3 Monday to Friday ? Double daily at the weekends ?
as I previously suggested this will require x2 based aircraft at Newquay".

Connections ex Manchester are excellent, EZY, RYR and long haul.

You'd think that LGW wasn't suitable for people travelling to London from some of the comments here. The only advantage of LHR is better connections if you are connecting long-haul

But how many people travel on BUSINESS to/from Cornwall internationally - there isn't a major international business in the county............
