Air Southwest has announced the launch of many new services from Newquay Cornwall Airport, including a daily return service to Cardiff. The low cost airline is also launching the first direct non-stop flight to Leeds Bradford Airport from Newquay, and enhancing the twice daily flights from Newquay to Manchester which will no longer involve a change of aircraft at Bristol.
Flights will start on April 10 next year, so passengers are urged to book early to secure the best deals.
Malcolm Naylor, chief executive of Air Southwest, said: "As Cornwall's own airline, this further underlines our commitment to the future of Newquay Airport and means we will now fly to six destinations from Cornwall - Gatwick, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Bristol, Dublin and now Cardiff.
"The services to Manchester and Leeds Bradford that we launched in April this year have been well received and our schedule changes announced today make the routes even more customer-friendly."
David Whalley, leader of Cornwall County Council, the owners of Newquay Cornwall Airport, said: "We are very pleased to be hosting these new services, and wish Air Southwest every success with their route development.
"It is good to see a local South West airline playing such an active role in the fortunes of the airport."
Air Southwest was launched two years ago and is part of the Plymouth-based transport and regeneration group Sutton Harbour Holdings Plc, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
It operates a fleet of 50-seater Dash 8-300 aircraft, offering a flight time to Cardiff of just 35 minutes.
