Air Southwest to cease operations at Plymouth and Newquay

Air Southwest has taken a decision to cease all its Plymouth services from September 14. The Newquay flights have been reviewed at length, but are not viable on their own without the association with Plymouth. As a consequence, Newquay routes to Glasgow, Guernsey, Jersey and Manchester will also end on the same date.

Newquay services to Aberdeen, Bristol, Cork, Dublin and Leeds Bradford will end on September 30, which regrettably will be the last day of Air Southwest branded flights.

Air Southwest was planning to operate while Plymouth Airport remained open, however, despite our original hopes, Air Southwest forward bookings are significantly lower than required and the level of demand is not financially viable.

All passengers booked to fly after these dates will be fully refunded.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for supporting Air Southwest.

I wonder if Flybe will take on the Newquay route from Glasgow airport? They have recently announced Newquay from Manchester airport so I suppose there's a chance they'll look at serving Newquay from Glasgow as well.
