Newquay Airport criticised

NEWQUAY CORNWALL AIRPORT has again come under scrutiny after the publication of a report into its closure for three weeks just before Christmas.  Whilst the review, by Cornwall County Council former Chief Executive, John Mills, is critical in some respects it has also called the changeover “a success”, comments that have been challenged.  Speaking after a well attended press conference last Friday (31 July) to unveil the review, Mark Kaczmarek, Council Member for Housing, said: "The report could have been stronger – it would have been better to have someone with an aviation background carrying it out.”  The changeover, from an RAF base to a civil operation, cost Cornwall taxpayers more than one million pounds and seriously disrupted airline operations. www.newquaycornwallairport.com
