Plymouth City Airport to close

The last flights will be taking off and arriving at Plymouth City Airport in December of this year. The owner of this hub announced that it would be closing as a result of the economic downtown which has affected the UK regional aviation market. At present, there are less than 100 passengers flying out of this hub on a daily basis which is just not enough to keep it in business.

Newquay and Exeter Airports will benefit from the closure, but Plymouth still needs an airport in the future. In the meantime, all the bodies involved are endeavouring to find a way to save the airport and its only airline will continue to sell airline tickets and operate flights to and from the hub until closure.
