Plymouth to Newquay Airport

Cornwall Airport Newquay provides a unique gateway to domestic and selected European destinations, situated approximately 60 miles southwest of Plymouth.

This scenic route passes through historic market towns and offers glimpses of both moorland and coastal vistas, making the transfer itself a memorable part of your journey.

The 1.5-hour journey time makes Newquay a viable alternative to Exeter for Plymouth travelers, particularly during summer months when the airport operates an expanded schedule. The A30 dual carriageway ensures a smooth journey for most of the route, though the final approach to the airport follows smaller roads through the Cornish countryside. Our experienced drivers know these routes well and can navigate the seasonal tourist traffic that occasionally affects journey times.

Airlines including Ryanair, Eastern Airways, and Loganair offer connections to destinations including London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and seasonal routes to European holiday destinations.
