FLYING HIGH : THE FUTURE'S LOOKING GOOD FOR NEWQUAY AIRPORT

As Leader of Restormel Borough Council, John has taken the lead, together with his fellow Conservative Councillor from Newquay, Craig Bryant, in driving forward the plans to upgrade the facilities at Cornwall's principal civil airport. This involves inward investment of £1.5 million and will allow larger planes to land. Restormel B C and Cornwall County Council are joint owners of the airport

This investment is crucial to Cornwall's businesses and to our Tourism industry. We need the facilities to attract both business people and visitors from home and overseas who wish to fly direct to Cornwall from London, Europe or further afield.

Pictured below is John and Jim Curry, prospective Cornwall County Councillor with the Captain and Stewardess from the Skybus crew, discussing the future of new routes for Skybus.
