British Airways is to salvage Cornwall's air link with Heathrow after Flybe announced it is scrapping the route.
Five return flights per week will be operated by British Airways between the 海角视频's busiest airport and Newquay this summer.
Shortly after being saved from collapse by striking a deal with the Government last month, Flybe revealed its taxpayer-subsidised flights between London and Newquay will switch from Heathrow to Gatwick on March 29.
Richard Thomasson, interim airport director of Cornwall Airport Newquay, said: "We are delighted British Airways will be flying to Cornwall this summer and to be able to continue to offer this vital link between Cornwall and Heathrow.
"With such a major global carrier we will be able to offer our passengers one-stop access to the world, while worldwide investors and tourists will benefit from an easier connection to our stunning county."
Last month, Flybe announced that it would end its public service obligation (PSO) route from Cornwall to Heathrow after less than a year.
The service was jointly funded by a government and Cornwall Council initiative but the route from the county has now switched to Gatwick.
Explaining its reasoning for the change from Heathrow to Gatwick, Flybe said: "In preparing to re-brand as Virgin Connect this year, we’ve undertaken a full review of our network. We’ve looked at where we can add most value with the best and most convenient travel choices for our customers.

"In doing this, we’ve been able to free up a second aircraft to be based at Cornwall Airport Newquay. This has allowed us to boost the schedule with a brand new year-round route to Amsterdam and increase frequency to our Manchester hub.
"London Gatwick is a better fit for this new improved programme. It benefits Cornwall customers with a wider choice of both leisure and business destinations and overall makes commercial sense."
On the new route from Cornwall Airpot Newquay, British Airways' director of network and alliances Neil Chernoff said: "We know that customers enjoy exploring the 海角视频 as much as they do going further afield, and Newquay has so much to offer, especially in the summer months."
Flights will operate on Mondays, Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from July 2 until September 7. Return fares start from £90.
