Air Southwest to start flights between the South West and London

March 10th, 2009

Air Southwest is set to revolutionise air travel between South West England and London with the launch of a twice daily service to London City Airport, in the heart of the capital, from both Plymouth and Newquay airports.

From April 20, Plymouth City will be linked directly to London City, twice daily. Flying time from Plymouth to London City will be just over an hour, shaving hours off the same journey by rail or road. Flight times will give South West business travellers a full business day in the capital.

The new service also provides a twice-daily link from Newquay to London City, meaning that Cornwall’s business travellers can also benefit from a full day in London, with the convenience of flying from Newquay Airport.  This expansion will further strengthen Air Southwest’s route network from Newquay, where the airline is already the largest operator.

Te new flights complement Air Southwest’s four times daily London Gatwick service, which operates seven days a week from Plymouth and Newquay.
