Newquay Cornwall Airport

Newquay Cornwall Airport (NQY) traces its roots back to the 1930s as a military airfield, with civilian services growing from the late 1960s, and today operates from a single compact terminal serving as Cornwall’s main regional gateway. Small but strategically important for holiday travel, NQY handles seasonal spikes to UK and European sun destinations and provides convenient access to Newquay’s famous surf beaches and wider Cornwall attractions. It’s a short drive from Newquay town centre with regular bus links, taxis, car hire and nearby rail connections at Newquay station. Generally budget-friendly for holidaymakers, the airport hosts a mix of regional and seasonal carriers and acts as a seasonal base for several holiday airlines.
