Air Southwest Flights

Air Southwest was launched in 2003 primarily to replace British Airways, when they withdraw from the London to Plymouth route. The airline is backed by Sutton Harbour holdings who also own Plymouth airport. Air Southwest uses a low cost business model and flies to 12 cities within the UK & to France and Eire including: Bristol, Cork, Dublin, Grenoble, Glasgow, Jersey, Leeds/Bradford, London (London Gatwick Airport), Manchester, Newcastle, Newquay, and Plymouth .

The Air Southwest personal touch “Friendly, Flexible, Fabulous value and consistently pro-fessional.” We’ve worked closely with Air Southwest since before its first aircraft arrived and have watched it grow into one of the UK’s most consistent deliverers of passenger value. With a growing band of enthusiastic regular travellers plus an experienced management team Air Southwest should be far more well known than it is currently. For thos surfers amongst us, it is worth noting that, unlike British Airways, Air Southwest will carry your board down to the surfing mecca of Cornwall on their four flights a day between London Gatwick and Newquay.

(Note from ed. – if you’re for the world’s most successful US based, low cost airline try “Southwest Airlines” not Air Southwest.)

Air Southwest use a reliable fleet of 5 Bombardier Dash 8 300, each with 50 seats. The flag ship route is between London Gatwick and Plymouth/Newquay.
