  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nA UK airline has cancelled its London flights, owing to surging fuel prices.\n\nSkybus, which operates daily flights between London Gatwick and the seaside town of Newquay, confirmed its decision this morning.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe company only started offering the route in November 2025 after Eastern Airways went into administration.\n\nThe service was set to end on May 31, but it will now be ending two months earlier than scheduled.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe airline’s Managing Director Jonathan Hinckley said a number of factors were at play.\n\nA rise in fuel costs and a lack of passenger bookings were among them.\n\nHe explained: “At a time of great economic uncertainty and steps being taken to conserve energy worldwide, it is either environmentally nor economically sound for us to continue flying with vastly reduced passenger numbers.”\n\nAffected passengers will receive full refunds.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe flights take around one hour and 20 minutes and start from £79.99 each way.\n\nThis represents a faster and cheaper option than the train, which takes around five hours and includes a change.\n\nRyanair offers flights between Newquay and London Stansted all year round.\n\nAnd easyJet is set to start a new flight route to Newquay from June 23.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nA Cornwall Airport Newquay spokesperson said: “We are actively working with airline partners to secure sustainable London connectivity for the future.”\n\nThe ongoing crisis in the Middle East has resulted in similar warnings from across the aviation sector.\n\nRyanair boss Michael O’Leary has warned of travel chaos in the summer.\n\nHe said: “We don’t expect any disruption until early May, but if the war continues, we do run the risk of supply disruptions in Europe in May and June.”\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
