Regional airline Eastern Airways (T3/EZE) in partnership with London Southend Airport (SEN/EGMC) is set to launch a new route from Southend to Cornwall Airport Newquay (NQY/EGHQ) for Summer 2025.
Flights are set to launch on the 3rd of April 2025 and will operate daily with fares starting at £59,99 one way.
Nigel Mayes, Business Development Manager at London Southend Airport said: “The return of a route to Newquay is a great way to start the new year; connecting passengers from coast to capital and into London with our on-site train line, just 43 minutes into Stratford or 52 minutes to London Liverpool Street. We look forward to welcoming new customers, and returning faces, in April this year.”
Newquay Cornwall Airport is the air gateway to Cornwall, giving easy access to the Atlantic coast resorts of Newquay and Perranporth, as well as the wider region, including St Ives, St Michael’s Mount, and the Eden Project.
Amy Smith, Head of Commercial, Cornwall Airport Newquay said: “We’re confident this route will be incredibly popular with travellers from the east of England looking to experience Cornwall’s stunning coastline and rich heritage this summer season. The new service from Eastern Airways will provide a convenient and efficient way to travel between the east and west of our country and further supplements our London connectivity, meeting the increased leisure demand in the summer months.”
Eastern Airways is one of the UK’s leading regional airlines operating domestic flights across the UK and previously operated flights to Nequay in 2019.
Roger Hage, Commercial Director at Eastern Airways said: “Adding London Southend for 2025 as our second London airport connection to Newquay Cornwall follows the success the team in Southend have shown in the increasing strength of the easyJet product. This helps open the North & East of the capital – plus Essex and Suffolk especially – to a daily service to the South-West of England, complementing our London Gatwick twice-daily offer. The speed of access to Greater London via the adjacent rail link offers an appealing option, helping to avoid the otherwise arduous alternative travel options.”
