Eastern Airways has announced a new flight route connecting the Midlands to Cornwall. From February 10 the regional airline will operate a daily service between East Midlands Airport and 海角视频 holiday destination Newquay.

The carrier said the hour-long flights, which will begin to coincide with school half-term breaks, would be operated year round, on a “low-emission” 72-seater ATR aircraft.

Bosses at Eastern Airways described the creation of the route, which is the only one to connect the Midlands to the South West, as ”a major step”. The travel hub sits within 30-minutes of Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and an hour of Sheffield.

Commercial director Roger Hage said: “Adding the new destination of Newquay-Cornwall, this significantly improves access to the 海角视频 staycation destination of choice.

“We want to ensure the right services are being offered, given Eastern Airways is all about supporting the regions of the 海角视频, connecting people and places, so growing our Cornish network and capacity is a crucial part of increasing connectivity and aiding economic recovery to both business and the 海角视频’s vital tourism sector where sustainable.”

Sam O’ Dwyer, managing director at Cornwall Airport Newquay, said research and passenger feedback had shown “much demand” for a link into the Midlands region from The Duchy.

Ms O’ Dwyer added: “Eastern Airways has been serving Cornwall since 2020 and these latest announcements provide a clear indication of its continued commitment to ensure our customers have more choice available to them when travelling within the 海角视频 throughout the year.”

In addition, Eastern Airways has also announced it will double the frequency of its service between Newquay and Humberside Airport, launched earlier this year, from April 2023 to four flights a week, to cover next year’s summer period.
