She has worked at the South West transport hub for 11 years

Cornwall Airport Newquay’s interim managing director is stepping down, the transport hub has announced. Amy Smith, who has worked for the organisation for 11 years, is leaving to take up a new job within the aviation industry.

During her time at the airport she was involved in a number of “major operational milestones”, airline developments, terminal upgrades and the airport’s growth “as a vital transport gateway for Cornwall”, the airport said.

“After 11 years at Cornwall Airport Newquay, I have decided the time is right for me to move on to a new opportunity within the industry,” she said.

“It has been a privilege to work with such a dedicated and passionate team, and I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together. Cornwall Airport Newquay is a very special place, and I will leave with many fond memories and every confidence in its future success”

Neil Edmond, CEO of Corserv, said Ms Smith had made “an enormous contribution” to Cornwall Airport Newquay.

“[She] has been a valued member of the leadership team,” he said. “Most recently, she has successfully led the business as interim managing director during a significant period of transition.”

He added: “The airport remains focused on delivering its strategic priorities and continuing to provide excellent service for passengers, partners and the wider Cornwall community.”

The news comes days after Cornwall Airport announced it is planning to launch a direct-flight package holiday programme to Tenerife in March next year.

The South West transport hub has partnered with Murray Travel on the programme which will offer two direct departures from Newquay to Tenerife on Friday, March 5 and Friday March 12.
