Loganair (LM, Glasgow International) has announced it will relaunch its Manchester International-Newquay route on February 10, 2023, as it moves to mop up marketshare left by the collapse of flybe..
The carrier's internet booking engine shows flights will operate daily.
The Manchester-Newquay route was one of just five services where flybe. was the only carrier. The collapsed regional carrier was the main operator at the Cornish airport with a 42.4% market share by scheduled weekly departure capacity ahead of its cessation of operations. In turn, the service from Manchester will be Loganair's only current route to Newquay. During the summer season, the airline also serves the Cornish seaside resort from Edinburgh and Newcastle, GB, the ch-aviation schedules module shows.
Other carriers, including Ryanair and easyJet, offered "rescue fares" to passengers holding tickets for cancelled flybe. flights, but have so far refrained from adding any new routes.
flybe. ceased all operations on January 28, 2023.
