Military planes to land at Newquay Cornwall Airport

16 Feb 11

Military aircraft will be able to land free of charge at Newquay Cornwall Airport, which is adjacent to RAF St Mawgan, as of this week for a trial period.

The commercial airport will open its skies to all military fixed wing aircraft under 30 tons. The agreement made between Cornwall Airport Limited, RAF St Mawgan and the Ministry of Defence comes as part of the continuing partnership and working relationship following the transfer of ownership of the RAF runway to Cornwall Council in November 2008.

The agreement with the MOD will encourage UK military aircraft to undertake their flight training requirements at the airport and the skies above it.
