Heathrow Airport has snatched another route from Gatwick as Flybe is to transfer its service to Newquay from Sunday 31 March 2019.
Currently, Flybe flies from Gatwick to Newquay up to three times daily, typically with an Embraer E195 aircraft.
From Sunday 31 March 2019, this will operate from London Heathrow up to four times daily with a smaller Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 turboprop aircraft.
This was Flybe’s last remaining route at Gatwick which means the airline will leave the airport. The London – Newquay route is a Public Service Obligation route and is supported by funding from Government and Cornwall Council.
Codeshares
It’s worth noting that the existing Gatwick – Newquay is codeshared with a number of airlines including BA, Emirates and Virgin.
It’s a safe assumption that to support four flights a day and connectivity for the South West region there will be a substantial number of codeshares with airlines at Heathrow.
If you have an existing booking for travel after Sunday 31 March 2019 to connect to/from a long-haul flight at Gatwick it is strongly advised to change your connection to Heathrow if possible. Otherwise, you will probably have to avoid have to cross London at your own expense. This is best avoided at almost all cost.
