Air Southwest stellt Flugbetrieb am 30.9.2011 ein

Damit gehen in PLH die Lichter aus und bleiben in NQY nur noch die Flybe-Linien nach LGW und EDI sowie der IoSS-Flug auf die Scillies (+ die saisonale DUS-Linie) - sieht ziemlich düster für den Südwesten aus.

 

"Air Southwest to cease operations at Plymouth and Newquay

 

Air Southwest has taken a decision to cease all its Plymouth services from September 14. The Newquay flights have been reviewed at length, but are not viable on their own without the association with Plymouth. As a consequence, Newquay routes to Glasgow, Guernsey, Jersey and Manchester will also end on the same date.

 

Newquay services to Aberdeen, Bristol, Cork, Dublin and Leeds Bradford will end on September 30,which regrettably will be the last day of Air Southwest branded flights.

 

Air Southwest was planning to operate while Plymouth Airport remained open, however, despite our original hopes, Air Southwest forward bookings are significantly lower than required and the level of demand is not financially viable.

 

All passengers booked to fly after these dates will be fully refunded.

 

We apologise for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for supporting Air Southwest."

Schade, hatte Air Southwest bei der letzten UK Tour aufgeschoben... war wohl ein Fehler. Schade auch fuer die Region, da geht Luftfahrttechnisch wirklich nicht mehr viel.
