Last Flight to Newquay

The Untold

Available for over a year

Cornwall Airport Newquay faces hard times and tough choices after the collapse of Flybe and Covid-19. Grace Dents presents. Until its collapse in March 2020, regional airline Flybe accounted for nearly three quarters of flights to Cornwall Airport Newquay. The coronavirus then engulfed the airport in a far wider, deeper crisis. The Untold follows the management of the airport as they're confronted with difficult decisions. The future also looks very uncertain for the young owners of a nearby hotel, and for taxi driver Steve whose income has plummeted. Producer: Laurence Grissell
