Ryanair has cut 12 flights per week between Newquay and London Stansted after Cornwall County Council decided to impose a £5 surcharge on passengers and visitors to the region, believed to be equivalent to 100,000 passengers per year. Michael Cawley, deputy chief executive officer of Ryanair, said that Newquay and the region was “part of a competitive price sensitive market that must compete with 84 other low fare destinations from London Stansted. “Under the right conditions this market is capable of delivering huge economic benefits to the region and in excess of 200,000 passengers per annum,” Cawley said.
