Press release here: https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/council-...t-with-skybus/

"Daily flights between Newquay and London are set to resume later this month after a short-term contract was agreed between Cornwall Council and the Cornish Skybus airline.

The service had been cancelled following the collapse of the previous operator, Eastern Airways, last week.

The route is operated under a Public Service Obligation, which sees Cornwall Council and the Department for Transport provide financial support if required to ensure the service is maintained.

Skybus will act as the interim provider providing daily flights between Cornwall Airport Newquay and London Gatwick from Sunday, November 23, increasing to twice-daily services from mid-February. "

Although to add more details, looking at the booking website (https://www.skybus.co.uk), it appears that they are actually being run by Blue Islands under contract.
