“We are really excited to be celebrating the launch of our new route from Newquay to Manchester today. We know that people across the UK want to travel this summer, so we’re delighted to be able to offer even more direct domestic connectivity for our customers in the South West and are looking forward to reuniting family and friends across the UK or take people away on a long-awaited break this summer.

Pete Downes, Managing Director at Cornwall Airport Newquay commented:

“We are delighted to be welcoming easyJet to Cornwall Airport Newquay today, with the first of three routes for this summer. These new flights will not only serve the needs of those looking forward to a holiday in Cornwall this year but will also enable local residents and businesses to get flying again, whether that is to visit clients and customers or to catch up with the friends and family they’ve been missing during the lockdowns.  For those reasons and more, this is a particularly special route launch for us.
