Ryanair to start operating to Newquay!
Ryanair are to start operations to Newquay in Cornwall according to the southwest news.The flights will operate from Stansted and are expected to be only atround £19.Ryanair will ever operate one or two flights a day one of which will be an evening flight.
These flights will be in competition with Brymon who fly Newquay-Plymouth-Gatwick with a Dash 8.Ryanair will bring much needed buisness to the southwest after foot and mouth and the decline in british tourism.It is believed that Ryanai’rs flights will be succesful as Cornwall has become a much more popular tourism area with the opening of the Eden Prodject and the Cornish Mratime museum as well as other torist attractions.
Good news for the southwest!

RE: Ryan Air
Production will be stepped up if orders like that continue to flow in!
Boeing must be doing some serious re-forecasting for FY03 profits surely.
The 3rd generation 737 family will continue to sell well, as they have been. The 737-800 has just started Operations here in Australia with Virgin Blue.

RE: Ryan Air
I dont think this plane will be stopping production any time soon!
If i owned a Airline i would buy the A319 if it was a full cost airline but B737-700 if it was a low-cost one! I could fly from Belfast City to JFK in a 737-700!!
