Flybe will return to Newquay later this year for the first time since the onset of the pandemic and the regional carrier’s subsequent collapse.

Flybe will become Newquay's 10th airline

Flybe was one of the early casualties of the Covid crisis in early 2020, at which time it operated year-round to Newquay from Gatwick, Southend, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Leeds-Bradford and Manchester airports.


It also offered seasonal connections from Belfast, Birmingham, Jersey and Guernsey.


However, starting 30 October, Flybe will return to Newquay offering a 12-times-weekly Heathrow service, flying double-daily on week days. It will also operate a daily Manchester service.


Flybe will operate both routes year-round using 78-seat Q400 aircraft.
