PLYMOUTH”S air link to Gatwick is expected to continue following confirmation that Sutton Harbour Plc is to take over eight BA slots at the airport on behalf of its embryo airline Air Southwest from the start of the winter season. At a hastily called press conference Air Southwest was not exactly forthcoming with information except that a 50-seat Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft will be used on the service, timings and aircraft identical to the current operation. Newquay is retained with the last service of the day from Gatwick over-flying Drake”s city direct to Newquay before finishing at Plymouth. Bookings are planned to open in September. http://www.sutton-harbour.co.uk
