The regional carrier will begin the connection on February 10, 2023, adding over 1,000 two-way weekly seats to the airport’s schedule next year.
In addition to introducing a new UK region to NQY’s route map, Eastern Airways has also confirmed an expanded flying programme on its links from Cornwall to London Gatwick and Humberside, following rising demand.

Our research and passenger feedback has shown there is much demand for a link into the Midlands region from Cornwall, combined with more capacity into London, and the doubling of flights into Humberside is fantastic news. 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 UK throughout the year.”

We want to ensure the right services are being offered given Eastern Airways is all about supporting the regions of the UK, 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 UK’s vital tourism sector where sustainable, both with increases to London and wider connections within the UK.”
