Last weekend saw the start of the new Aer Lingus Regional service between Cork and Cornwall Airport Newquay… and the Irish reaction has been very positive already, say organisers.

To celebrate the launch of the new route an event was held in Cork where media and travel trade contacts were invited to learn more about Cornwall and what it has to offer as a new holiday destination from the South West Ireland Airport.

Al Titterington, managing director at Cornwall Airport Newquay said: ’We’ve worked hard to establish this connection between Newquay and Cork as we knew the demand was there and that the service would be well used by visitors travelling in both directions.’
