Airline cuts route over fuel cost

Flights from Newquay to Glasgow will cease in August

A low-cost airline has suspended one of its domestic routes because of the high price of aviation fuel.

Exeter-based airline Flybe is halting its flights from Newquay in Cornwall to Glasgow.

The service, introduced earlier this year as one of several new routes aimed at business travellers, will cease from the beginning of August.

The company said flights to Glasgow would resume when the price of fuel goes down.

Air Southwest, which started flying from Newquay to Glasgow at the end of April, said it had no intention of stopping its flights.
