Just had a look on EF and it seems all the flights are operated by G-DBC* A319s. This makes me wonder if moving these birds up from LGW was part of the plan in launching NQY. Otherwise what would they have used to operate the route?

As to whether this is a knee-jerk reaction to Flybe’s issues, or a longer-term scheme, will likely femain a mystery to those outside the Hub at Waterside.

Cheaper fares popping up now, for some reason BA.com is not working for return flights but is for one way flights.

Happy days! I used to run a music festival about two miles from St Mawgan (which is actually where the airport is!) back in the 1980s, and have fond memories of Brymon operating the route, with a stop west-bound in Exeter. The Exeter-NQY sector could be really good fun if the weather was intense!

Oddly enough I'll be in Newquay for the first time the weekend that this route opens up, but the flight times don't work for me this time (need to be there before the 2nd of July, and need to get to Dublin on the evening of the 5th, earlier than their flight).
The current Aer Lingus (Stobart) nonstop flight in economy is 773 euros (or 817 for the BA codeshare), so there must be some demand this time of year!
