UK REGIONAL HUB CLOSES FOR THREE WEEKS

One of the UK's smaller airports is to close for three weeks in the run-up to Christmas.

Newquay Cornwall Airport, which connects the south west of England to a number of major UK locations including Manchester Airport, will effectively shut down from December 1st to 19th.

Services will halt as a result of the airport not possessing a licence for the period, due to the RAF's decision to cease operating its St Mawgan airfield which forms part of the civilian facility.

Andrew Mitchell, economic portfolio holder for the airport's owners Cornwall County Council, said: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience this temporary cancellation of flights from the airport will cause to those who have booked flights during this period.

"We are clearly very disappointed that the RAF has not been able to continue to operate the airfield beyond the 1st December. We would like to place on record our sincere appreciation for the cooperation we have received from the RAF throughout this project."

Newquay Cornwall Airport flies passengers to destinations across western Europe as well as handles passengers flying into the popular tourist destinations in the Cornwall area.
