British Airways announces route between Heathrow and Newquay
The route will change carrier at the end of March
British Airways is to salvage Cornwall's air link with Heathrow after Flybe announced it is scrapping the route.
Five return flights per week will be operated by British Airways between the UK's busiest airport and Newquay this summer.
Shortly after being saved from collapse by striking a deal with the Government last month, Flybe revealed its taxpayer-subsidised flights between London and Newquay will switch from Heathrow to Gatwick on March 29.
British Airways' director of network and alliances Neil Chernoff said: "We know that customers enjoy exploring the UK as much as they do going further afield, and Newquay has so much to offer, especially in the summer months."
Flights will operate on Mondays, Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from July 2 until September 7. Return fares start from £90.
