With three new year-round routes connecting Cornwall to Scotland from this spring, the northern reaches of the UK are back on the “to visit” list for Cornish residents.

There are more flights to Edinburgh with Flybe and new services to Aberdeen and Glasgow with new operator Loganair.

From March 29, Flybe services from Cornwall Airport Newquay to Edinburgh will operate up to five times a week throughout the year, a significant increase on the previous schedule.

Loganair is launching its new routes to Aberdeen and Glasgow on April 1 and May 22 respectively, and will also offer up to five flights per week year-round.

Richard Thomasson, interim airport director at Cornwall Airport Newquay, said: “Scotland has long since been a popular outbound destination from Cornwall and we’re delighted that these new and improved services will offer more options for travel than ever before.

“Given the appeal that Scotland has as a destination, and the distance involved in getting there, we know how popular these new services will be.”
