Growing by an immense 138% in annual passenger numbers, Cornwall Airport Newquay (NQY) welcomed just over 250,000 passengers by the end of 2022. Seeing close to 150,000 more passengers than the year before, the Cornish gateway has witnessed an expanded airline portfolio and a wave of new destinations on the airport’s ever-growing route network.
With predicted passenger traffic forecast to reach 450,000 this year, NQY expects to see it’s highest-ever number of weekly passengers travel through its terminal this summer, with a robust 40% growth on pre-pandemic figures.
Crediting the surge to the addition of seven new services announced so far for 2023, the airport will increase its choice for its customers and welcome new links to Belfast City, Copenhagen, Dublin, East Midlands, Edinburgh, London Stansted, and Malaga.
