Newquay Cornwall Airport talks about keeping your business connected to the north and worldwide
Do you conduct business in the north and abroad or are you considering doing so? Our daily Manchester flights from Newquay Cornwall Airport can not only connect you with northern England, but also a wide variety of worldwide destinations including New York, Berlin and Dubai.
Due to the popularity of our year-round daily flights to Manchester, Flybe has increased these from 7 to 10 flights a week over the 2015 summer season, with additional flights operating on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays. And with a flight time of only 70 minutes, it is your quickest route to The North, meaning you can spend your time getting on with business, rather than sitting in traffic or on a slow moving train.
