MANCHESTER now 1 daily
LEEDS/BRADFORD now 1 daily

NEWQUAY to/from

BRISTOL now 1 daily

BRISTOL to/from

Why cut back now then? If they were doing that well there they wouldn’t have started up in CWL and expanded other routes, they would have expanded at PLH instead.

I can now actually see/fear an Air Southwest pull-out from Plymouth!!

I doubt that as the owners of WOW own PLH

If we handled Air Southwest I think Id be upset but thanksfully we dont and its just another nail in the Aviance DUB coffin.

Possibly they may just use it as a divert airport for NQY, CWL & BRS. Or they could be wanting to redevelop it? I don’t know, and I think it’s too early to say yet, but certainly the past few weeks have not boded well for PLH, and at the moment I doubt it’s long term future.

I feel and fear that Plymouth will be left with flights to London Gatwick and that is all.

And not forgetting that the owners of Plymouth Airport own Air Southwest!

I fear Plymouth is losing business to EXT and NQY. For WOW to be cutting back as well, and they are officially based there, is a very bad sign. You don’t cut back from your home airport unless things arn’et going well, and this appears to be the case. I see a gradual withdrawal, eventully ending in complete departure from PLH. 6G have cancelled DUB & moved ORK to EXT, and WOWs expansion at NQY is very rapid. it all fits 🙁
