Flybe have also reduced their LGW-Newquay schedule, for the month of Jan anyway. Down to two flights on a lot of dates, and even down to just one flight on odd weekdays.

Any idea why BE have cancelled so many NQY-LGW flights in Jan? Seems they are down to just one flight on some days unless I'm reading the website wrong? Should be good news for ASW.
