Aurigny to look at feasibility of Newquay flights

AURIGNY has said it might look at operating a service to Newquay to replace Air Southwest, which has announced it is to close.

Air Southwest, which hoped to run services until the end of December when loss-making Plymouth Airport closes, will instead end its Plymouth and Newquay services to the island from September.

Passengers who use them said they were disappointed by the news.

Air Southwest was taken over by Eastern Airways in September after suffering a £600,000 drop in profits.
