Eastern Airways have just put on sale a new route from Leeds/Bradford to Newquay reinstating the link lost after the demise of Flybe. The service will operate up to 5x weekly (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri) starting from July 9th using BAe Jetstream 41 aircraft. No official announcement has been made as yet.

EZE7682 = LBA 11:10 - NQY 12:35 / EZE7683 = NQY 13:10 - LBA 14:35

 
This isn’t the first time Eastern and Loganair have announced the same route almost simultaneously - they did it with ABZ-BHX back in March and on that occasion Eastern pulled out before starting.

I can see the two doing OK together on this route as the combined capacity is similar to what Flybe used to offer, unlike ABZ-BHX which would have represented a vast increase on what Flybe were offering. There should be a pretty decent “staycation“ market.

Just wish Birmingham could get in on it, seems every airport north of us has NQY flights now!
 
According to the dried fruit forum it looks like Eastern Airways might have been awarded the Newquay to London PSO route with slots at Gatwick being awarded.
 
Any chance they could fit a Birmingham/Newquay flight or 2 into the schedule?
Well looking at the ATMs it looks like slots for 2 daily flights at least. I suppose it depends if they base the crew at Newquay or rotate them via another airport. I suspect the aircraft used may well be the E170.
 
The PSO route has been awarded to Eastern Airways. Which will operate Newquay to London Gatwick starting from next month (December 2021). It will start with 1 daily flight but increases to 2 daily from February and by Summer 2022 they expect to operate the route 3 daily. Flights should be on sale very soon. Thx to SeanM1997 on twitter for the info.
 
Eastern's first PSO departure from NQY to LGW yesterday was accompanied by the latest cretinous protests by those who have nothing better to do.

Did anyone see them hiking or cycling all the way from wherever they live to make this protest? Or perhaps they sailed around the coast and then tramped to the airport.

 
Is there still a NQY - LHR ? Or just LGW , There was a lot of chopping and changing in the recent past. I'm not sure NQY - SEN would work, with other London options.

Eastern will still operate the double-daily PSO route from NQY to LGW.
This will presumably slot in the gap in the aircraft’s schedule in the middle part of the day.

RYR operate a STN-NQY route on some days which will be competing for the same passengers as SEN

Hi, I was born and lived in B36 for a long time - Lindale Avenue, just around the corner from Hodge Hill Comp.
I just noticed your postcode on a post.

Do you still live in the area?
survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 2nd time
If you’re tired of takeoffs, you’re tired of life.
49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.
