"In the current economic climate the airline industry is seeing a
weakening in demand from consumers for impulsive city breaks
and an increase for typical beach destinations. In order to meet
the demand for more sunshine routes from the Midlands, we will
be replacing our city route from Birmingham to Cork with the
new route to Newquay. This will enable us to meet the high
consumer demand for services to beach destinations"
