Eastern Airways to Start Summer Flights Between Humber and Cornwall

Prior to Easter, the Humber and Yorkshire region will have a new air link with Cornwall.

On 1st April, Eastern Airways will begin summer flights between Humberside Airport and Newquay Airport in Cornwall.

On Mondays and Fridays, the service will run twice weekly each way, with one-way rates starting at £74.99.

The schedule was created to accommodate lengthy weekend stays, weekly commuters, and people who wish to visit friends or family while avoiding a seven-hour drive or an eight-hour train ride between the regions.

Adam Wheatley, managing director of the regional airline, said: “Helping solve vital regional connectivity is what Eastern Airways have done for 25 years.

“From our home base at Humberside, the addition of Cornwall Newquay, our newest base, helps connect one of the most distant surface transport journeys from the Humber Bank, Lincolnshire and East Riding of Yorkshire to one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK.

“We are delighted to add Humberside to our Gatwick service from Cornwall Newquay, adding to our existing services to Aberdeen which we have served continuously since 1997, and the return for the third year of Jersey which commences in May.

“This also comes at a time when we are delighted to be adding new roles to support our expansion of services across our network.”
