The Cork to Cornwall service, operated by Stobart Air, will operate twice weekly from May 9 to October 6 this year with an additional 20% capacity.<\/p>\n
Following the successful launch to Newquay in Cornwall this year, Aer Lingus Regional has extended this service for a longer season in 2018.<\/p>\n
Cornwall Airport Newquay, just on the outskirts of the town, is also close to Truro, Cornwall’s only city, and the famous Penzance and St Ives.<\/p>\n
Cornwall includes a number of famous attractions, including the Eden Project, Land\u2019s End, and a local culture and history steeped in Arthurian legend.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the route, Graeme Buchanan, Managing Director at Stobart Air, said: \u201cTo meet strong demand, Stobart Air is thrilled to offer Cork passengers an extended summer service to the beautiful English county of Cornwall.<\/p>\n
\u201cCornwall is a unique UK destination. For those seeking a change to city breaks in Edinburgh or Manchester, a flight from Cork to Newquay offers a fantastic mix of bustling country towns, gorgeous coastal scenery, and attractions for foodies, thrill-seekers and culture buffs alike.\u201d<\/p>\n
The airline aims to fly over 340,000 passengers on Aer Lingus Regional routes through Cork Airport this year.<\/p>\n
Across nine routes in the UK and France, Aer Lingus Regional will offer over 275,000 seats and 3,800 flights during summer 2018 from Cork Airport.<\/p>\n
