Lufthansa to launch new flights from Dusseldorf to Newquay Cornwall Airport

Lufthansa is the third mainline carrier to serve Newquay, joining Swiss International (and its charter flights to Zurich) and British Airways, now established on the London Gatwick route. The airline recently confirmed it would be a year round service.

Meanwhile, Newquay Cornwall Airport is on course to handle 500,000 passengers this year with a route network comprising 24 destinations. It recently opened its new arrivals hall which marks the latest phase of ongoing development plans to increase the capacity of the terminal to meet a throughput of 700,000 passengers a year.

On 01-Dec-08, Cornwall Airport Ltd will officially take over from the RAF and the one time RAF St Mawgan Airport will be operating with a new civilian licence from the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

Cornwall Airport Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cornwall County Council, assumed operational management of Newquay Cornwall Airport on 01-Apr-07, following the expiry of the contract the airport held with Serco. Transition works are well underway, including all the elements of the airport redevelopment required to operate in a civilian capacity.
