Skybus, a UK airline, has announced the cancellation of its domestic flights between London Gatwick and Newquay due to rising fuel costs and a significant drop in passenger bookings. Initially set to conclude operations on May 31, 2025, the airline will now cease flights nearly two months earlier. Managing Director Jonathon Hinkles cited economic uncertainty and environmental concerns as key factors in the decision. Passengers affected by the cancellation will receive full refunds. The flights typically take around 1 hour and 20 minutes and start from £79.99 each way, while train journeys to Newquay can take up to five hours. Travelers seeking alternatives can consider Ryanair, which operates flights to London Stansted, and easyJet, which will launch a new route to Newquay from London Gatwick starting on June 23, 2025. A spokesperson from Cornwall Airport Newquay indicated ongoing efforts to establish sustainable flight options to London.
