Aer Arann adds Newquay <> Cork
Aer Arann, the small but growing Irish budget airline will operate a new Cork to Newquay service in May 2006. The timetable isn't finished yet but it will run three flights a week on the route. Aer Arann's route count now stands at 36.Newquay will be buoyed up by the increasing number of flights being operated from there after being snubbed by Ryanair following an increase in airport charges to develop the airport, a former RAF base.
In announcing the route Micheal O'Callarain, Marketing Manager, Aer Arann said "This is our fourth new route from Cork for summer 2006 representing considerable expansion from the Southwest region. We are delighted to be adding Cork to Newquay in Cornwall to our network of UK routes. Newquay is the West Counties beach paradise, with seven miles of sandy beaches and the surfing capital of the UK. We believe it will prove a popular leisure destination from Cork and look forward to working with both airports to develop the service in the coming months."
