Two new routes revealed for Cornwall Airport Newquay this summer
easyJet says flights will start from June
easyJet has revealed two new routes from Cornwall Airport Newquay this summer.
The airline will be operating flights to Manchester and Glasgow from June.
Bosses say all flights and holidays are subject to market-leading flexible policies under its ‘Protection Promise’.
That means that customers can book now for later this year with the confidence that if their plans change, so can their booking.
“We know that people want to travel as soon as they can and as soon as it is safe to do so and so we want to ensure they have even more destinations to choose from when making a booking for this summer.
“And while we remain optimistic for summer travel, given the successful roll out of the vaccination programme which will be an important trigger for the Government to begin to unwind some restrictions, our Protection Promise means that customers can book with confidence knowing that if they are unable to travel or their plans change so can their flights or holiday. And unlike other airlines we will offer customers refunds if they are impacted by a travel ban, even if their flight is not cancelled, which is industry leading.
“And in the meantime we continue to focus on offering a network of the most attractive destinations and ensuring we will be ready to ramp up our flights so we can take our customers away to see friends and family or on long-awaited holiday breaks when they can safely take to the skies again.”

About the flights
Flights to Manchester will operate up to five times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays from 21st June 2021.
The Glasgow flights will operate twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays throughout the peak summer season from 29th June 2021, providing customers in the South West with direct connections to the North West and Scotland in around 90 minutes.
“Domestic tourism is a vital driver of Cornwall’s visitor economy, and I’m confident that these new services announced by easyJet will be warmly welcomed by all those who are looking ahead with hope to the prospect of a UK staycation this summer.
"The addition by easyJet of over 30,000 seats to and from Cornwall Airport Newquay will not only help those in Scotland and North West England rediscover Cornwall’s enduring appeal with stunning coastlines and world class cuisine, it will also build on our work to reinstate connectivity for local residents and businesses, which remains vital to the South West’s recovery from the pandemic.”
