Companies had been “left in the dark” about the future of Newquay Airport

Miles Carden, chief executive of Falmouth Harbor and former head of Spaceport Cornwall, is also concerned. He wrote to Councilor Julian German, the leader of the opposition at the local authority, saying: “How about Cornwall Council reviewing any decision through a private sector steering group? I fear for the future of the airport and need reassurance that the right decisions are being made, although I fully understand the complexities and challenges with the airport.”
