easyJet has announced the launch of new seasonal service between London Gatwick and Newquay for summer 2026. From June 23, 2026, the route will operate twice weekly.

On Thursday (March 26, 2026), easyJet announced the launch of new summer seasonal service between London Gatwick (LGW) and Cornwall Airport Newquay (NQY). Starting June 26, 2026, the route will operate twice weekly on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The new route will strengthen direct domestic connectivity between London and the South East and Newquay, whether for a coastal getaway, visiting friends and family, or onward connections across Europe and beyond.
In Thursday’s announcement, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, Kevin Doyle, said,
“We are delighted to be launching flights from London Gatwick to Newquay this summer, providing even greater connectivity for customers in London and the South East wishing to explore Cornwall. The new route will not only offer direct links to the South West but will also provide access to Europe and beyond through our leading short-haul network, while continuing to support Cornwall’s important visitor economy. In our 30th year we remain committed to providing even more choice, all with great value fares, and we look forward to welcoming more customers on board this summer.”
Also commenting on the new route launch, Cornwall Airport Newquay’s Commercial Director, Nigel Scott, said,
“We’re very pleased to welcome this new London Gatwick service with easyJet for the peak summer season. Demand for Cornwall continues to grow, particularly from the South East, and this route provides an affordable and convenient way for visitors to access the region during one of our busiest periods. Building on the strong performance of easyJet’s Manchester route over the past two summers, this new service further strengthens our partnership. The Saturday service opens up new leisure connections via Gatwick, with opportunities to align with easyJet holidays, and we look forward to working together to maximise this potential.”
