London City loses connection

LONDON CITY AIRPORT is to lose its Air Southwest twice daily service to Plymouth and Newquay from 21 May.  Introduced in April 2009 to complement the airline’s long established four times daily flights from Devon and Cornwall to Gatwick, the route has suffered this year from a combination of poor weather and problems associated with the Icelandic volcano eruptions.  In the early days of London City the then incumbent carrier, Brymon Airways, also failed with a similar service , at the time concentrating on both Gatwick and Heathrow.  Air Southwest has an extensive regional network which includes from Newquay and Plymouth to destinations including Bristol, Cork, Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle and the Channel Islands.  For London City, on the plus side Luxair has upgraded its four times week daily flights to a larger aircraft, a 72-seat Bombardier Q400. www.airsouthwest.com www.luxair.lu
