Flybe's new year round service between Leeds Bradford and Newquay Airport operating three times a week is due to begin at the end of this month. The service, which starts on the 28th October, is the fourth and final Flybe route to be announced under the Government's Regional Air Connectivity Fund. The fund was launched last year to encourage new routes to and from UK regional airports and improving connectivity for business and leisure travellers.

Aviation Minister Robert Goodwill said: "It is great to see Flybe launch this new service between Leeds Bradford and Newquay. This will make a real difference to the local economies and unlock new tourism and business opportunities for Yorkshire and Cornwall, cutting out the long car and train journeys and putting the two regions within easy reach for holiday makers."
