Tuesday, October 30th, 2007. Cork Airport management is delighted to welcome Air Southwest’s announcement of a new Cork to Plymouth service. The service will begin in April 2008 and operate four days a week.

Kevin Cullinane, Marketing Manager, Cork Airport said: “We are delighted that Air Southwest plans to add Plymouth to its existing Newquay service and, indeed, that the airline plans to expand its Newquay service from three days per week to a year round six days per week service from April 2008. This increased business strengthens our connectivity into the south of England and opens up further business and tourism links between our respective southern gateways”.
