A ‘Classic’ Cornish welcome with Air Southwest

Air Southwest has teamed up with Cornwall and Devon Classic Car Hire to welcome passengers travelling to Plymouth or Newquay on new flights from Newcastle this spring.

Customers booked with the South West’s own low fare airline who have also booked a classic car to hire will be presented with a “welcome” selection of Cornish treats on arrival at the airport.

A range of gourmet foods will be included in the luxury bag including locally produced chocolate, fudge, biscuits, jam, marmalade and pilchards as well as a ‘Taste Cornwall’ magazine and a guide to eating out in the region.

Cornwall and Devon Classic Cars can arrange for a restored classic Jaguar, Austin Healey, MG or Aston Martin to be delivered to either Plymouth or Newquay Cornwall Airport ready for collection by Air Southwest customers.

Passengers will be able to take advantage of new daily flights direct from Newcastle to Plymouth and Newquay Cornwall from 28 April with fares starting at £35 one way including taxes and charges. The flights are available to book now at www.airsouthwest.com

Mike Coombes, Deputy Chief Executive for Air Southwest said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for our customers to get a real flavour of the South West when they arrive here for the first time. This adds a very personal touch to make a trip even more special. The new year-round services to Plymouth and Newquay are already proving very popular for both business and leisure passengers and we look forward to welcoming people from the North East”.

Rob Constant, Managing Director of Cornwall and Devon Classic Car Hire said: “Our level of service is second to none and we are delighted to meet Air Southwest customers direct from their flight and have their car ready for them at the airport. Whether it is for a romantic break, birthday, anniversary or honeymoon, it is an amazing experience getting behind the wheel of a classic British sports car and there’s no better way of seeing and experiencing the delights of the South West”.

With stunning countryside and coastline, Devon and Cornwall are increasingly popular short-break destinations, with world-renowned beaches, historic towns and villages to explore as well as a wide choice of places to eat and stay. Plymouth gives easy access to Dartmoor and has historic maritime connections whilst Newquay offers a gateway to some of the finest coastal scenery in the British Isles.
