Ryanair postpones Newquay - Alicante

Ryanair have today announced that the airline is postponing the start of it's Newquay - Alicante service until June due to delayed aircraft deliveries from Boeing. The route was due to resume in March but delays in Boeing deliveries caused firstly by the machinists strike and then a quality problem with strip nuts has left the airline short an aircraft to operate the route. The airline's Stansted - Newquay route will be unaffected by the frame shortage and will recommence as planned in March. Operations at the airport were halted late last year when the CAA refused to approve upgrades which were carried out to the airport's facilities on handover from military to civil operation.
