Newquay Cornwall Airport (NQY)

Newquay Cornwall Airport (NQY)

Newquay Cornwall Airport is located less than 5 miles east of Newquay town centre and it is quick and easy to get there by bus or by road. Western Greyhound bus 556 operates between the airport and Newquay and Padstow. Travel Cornwall also has buses and taxis running regularly from the airport into Newquay Bus Station. It is advisable to book a taxi in advance. You can also hire a car with Hertz, Avis or Europcar.

Public transport

Public transport

Newquay is small and it is quick and easy to get around on foot. Travel Cornwall and Western Greyhound run regular bus services around town as well as to other destinations in Cornwall. Western Greyhound offers different types of tickets and you buy tickets on the bus. In peak season traffic builds up and parking is difficult, so it is best you leave your car parked and get around town on foot or by bus. If you are going further afield by train you can buy a ‘PlusBus’ rail ticket and this can then be used on Greyhound buses within the Newquay area on your day of travel.

Taxi
