Air Southwest is the only scheduled operator serving the airport and currently operates from Plymouth to Aberdeen, Bristol, Cork, Dublin, Glasgow Intl, Guernsey, Jersey, Leeds/Bradford and Manchester. It will move all of its operations to Newquay between July 29 and August 29 when Plymouth airport will be temporarily closed already and then give up its Plymouth services on September 14.
