About Cornwall Airport Newquay

Cornwall Airport Newquay (CAN), known in the aviation industry as IATA code NQY, is the South West’s international gateway - connecting Cornwall to the UK, Europe and beyond. With one of the UK’s longest runways (2,744m), CAN/NQY supports commercial passenger services, business and general aviation, cargo, defence operations and specialist maintenance. Our recently refurbished passenger terminal combines a warm Cornish welcome with local produce, and now features next-generation security screening, making us one of only five UK airports fully compliant. As a lifeline airport, we’re home to the Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust and HM Coastguard, ensuring vital resilience for the region. Beyond aviation, the scale of our estate offers significant space for investment and development - supporting aerospace, defence, clean technology and other high-value industries. Home to Spaceport Cornwall, we are also at the forefront of the UK’s space sector and the only combined air and space port in the UK. Our vision is to expand sustainable connectivity and unlock economic opportunity for Cornwall’s communities, visitors and industries, while investing in facilities, partnerships and land that enable future growth. Cornwall Airport Newquay - Big capability, local heart, global ambition. #JoinTheAirvolution #SmallButMighty #TogetherWeCAN #FlyNQY
