Cornwall gains Dusseldorf air link
Lufthansa is to operate into Newquay in Cornwall in time for next summer.
Weekly flights from Dusseldorf are to start in June 2008 from the heart of the Rhein-Ruhr region.
The Cornish airport is also seeking airlines to offer flights from Amsterdam, Paris, Spain and UK domestic points such as the West Midlands, Newcastle and Glasgow.
Newquay Cornwall Airport project director Chris Cain said: “This is great news for the Cornish community, business and leisure travellers.
“Germany is Cornwall’s strongest overseas tourist market having been popularised by the
“German television dramatisation of the novels by Rosamunde Pilcher and we are confident this direct link will provide an even greater boost for inbound tourism from Germany.
“Lufthansa is the third mainline carrier at the airport, with Swiss and British Airways already enjoying success on their routes to Zurich and Gatwick respectively.
“This is further evidence that Cornwall is not just attractive to the low cost carriers.”
Air Southwest, British Airways and Ryanair offer flights to Newquay from Stansted and Gatwick.
