Devon and Cornwall direct from Newcastle Airport

Low fare airline Air Southwest is launching new services to Newquay in Cornwall and Plymouth in the heart of Devon from Newcastle Airport with fares from just £35 including taxes.

The flights will run seven days a week from April 28 next year and can be booked now at www.airsouthwest.com

Jim Cameron, chief executive at Air Southwest said: “It is the first time that Air Southwest has operated from Newcastle to Devon and Cornwall.

“We are delighted to be able to offer the services to Plymouth and Newquay and are confident the new flights will be hugely popular for both business and leisure passengers. I hope it will generate thousands of new visitors to the North East too. This month Air Southwest celebrated its fourth birthday and this is a fantastic way to celebrate”.

Chris Sanders, head of aviation development at Newcastle International Airport said: “The South West of England has so much to offer people in the North East and today’s announcement is a real boost to our services. We’re very pleased that Air Southwest has added the new routes to Plymouth and Newquay and the opportunities for travel to and from the region that these open up”.

Whether customers are visiting for business or pleasure, there is plenty to see and do in the South West with world class beaches, rolling countryside, harbour side towns and villages, a mild climate and top class hotels and restaurants.

Newquay is seen as one of the world’s leading surf destinations, and the Jamie Oliver-inspired Fifteen Cornwall restaurant is just a stone’s throw away, while Plymouth serves as the gateway to rugged Dartmoor and the rest of Devon. Padstow, home of Rick Stein’s famous Seafood Restaurant is just a short drive from Newquay Cornwall Airport.
