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 🙁
