UK regional airline Air Southwest has unveiled its winter flight programme from 14 airports in the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands and France.
Highlights of the schedule include: up to six flights a day between Newquay, Plymouth and London – four flights to Gatwick and two flights to London City Airport, including the flexibility to mix-and-match London City and Gatwick flights to suit travel needs.
Flights to Newquay and Plymouth now operate from London City, London Gatwick, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle, Bristol, Dublin, Cork and Grenoble.
The airline says that the route network is designed to meet the needs of both business and leisure passengers. Air Southwest’s Managing Director Peter Davies commented, “In today’s challenging environment, good quality air services are essential for businesses to connect to distant marketplaces and remain competitive. For leisure customers our routes provide easy access to the [English] south west, giving a valuable boost to the local tourism economy whilst providing opportunities for our customers to enjoy short breaks to locations throughout the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands with the convenience of flying from their local airport.”
