Flybe has announced a new service between Newquay Cornwall Airport and London Stansted as part of its expansion plans from the airport.

This service will take off in May 2015 and operates from Newquay Airport as part of its summer schedule until September 2015, offering a minimum of three departures per week, operating on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

Al Titterington, MD at the airport, said: “This is a further boost to the airport and the tourism economy and follows on the back of the Gatwick announcement at the end of October.

"In previous times Stansted had been a key route for Cornwall bringing high value inbound tourism from its affluent catchment like Cambridge. We expect passenger demand to be strong and will be working with our partners to promote Cornwall”.
