In this video, I fly with Eastern Airways onboard their BAE Jetstream 41 aircraft onboard the first ever flight from Humberside to Newquay!
Eastern Airways announced in March 2022 that they would be starting this brand new route from Humberside to Newquay, Cornwall. One of the most exciting parts of this flight has got to be the water cannon salute we received from the fire service! It was a brilliant day celebrating the launch of this new route, and I wish Eastern Airways every success!
Eastern Airways is a British regional airline based at Humberside Airport. It operates a fleet of turboprop aircraft, and recently, added the Embraer 170/190 aircraft to the fleet. Eastern Airways was a franchise partner of Flybe until the airline's collapse in 2020, and since then, has been flying solo. It has launched several new routes to fill gaps in the market that Flybe left behind.
I thoroughly enjoyed my flight with Eastern Airways. I would highly recommend them, particularly as they continue to expand their services across the UK!
I hope you enjoy this video!

Route: Humberside to Newquay, Cornwall

Humberside is my local airport too, but I've never flown from there, so thank you for giving me some insight into my local airport 👍🏼

Just a technical point but scheduled time of departure refers to when the aircraft first moves under it's own power (or pushes back off the stand if applicable). Scheduled time of arrival is when the aircraft finally comes to rest after landing.

This is correct! I just added the timestamps in to show the efficiency of flying with Eastern Airways 😀

How did it manage to clip 17 minutes off such a short flight? The published flight time is longer than the actual flight to give the impression of punctuality with some built in to cover late arrival. Noticed over the years that easyJet do same into Newquay. Seen 20 minutes off a less than one hour trip. No doubt others employ same tactic.

@@Thursdaym2 yeah all airlines do it. It’s to allow for some buffer time caused by slot delays, weather delays etc. The flight could take that long if there was a go around or a strong headwind for example

@aidengillag Ай бұрын

@Thursdaym2 schedule time is from "off block" or push back to arriving at the parking stand with chocks on. So engine start, taxi time, plus flying time etc is all factored in to this. Flight time itself is just one part of a schedule time. Flights from busier airports with known lengthy taxi times often have longer schedule times to factor this in. People forever confuse departure and arrival time, as the time the aircraft takes off and touches back down on the runway. It is not. 👍

Hiya. So have Eastern done away with their "TURN THAT OFF!" policy regarding cameras, photography and filming? Stay safe. All the best to you.

@LETSGOInflightAviation 2 жыл бұрын

Well, they were fine for me to film as long as I held my camera during take off rather than have it suctioned to the window! This might have something to do with the fact that I was also in the emergency exit row! Thanks for watching!

There's another very recent vid on youTube of a reviewer on the (I think) Inverness Eastern Airways service. The cabin crew (as tends to be the case with Eastern) were the rudest he'd ever come across. As he climbed the stairway into the aircraft, the cabin attendant at the front just barked "Off".... pointing at the camera.

@@Hundredakerwood439 Does not being able to use your camera on a one hour flight really influence your decision on being able to fly with Eastern? How about giving credit to this little airline in taking on routes that no one else wants to run? Humberside has little enough choice (unless you enjoy paying over £400 for a 45min flight to Amsterdam via KLM). @LETS GO!, great video BTW and thanks for letting us know about this (my Mother in Law dreads the 6 hour drive from Lincolnshire down to her sons house in Devon). We’ll definitely be using this service.

@@LETSGOInflightAviation many thanks for the response. I understand it must be frustrating for anyone trying to create good KZfaq content with some restrictions on in flight filming (and your KZfaq content is excellent) but it does rankle when some people comment that something that doesn’t affect 99.9% of travellers is a reason not to fly with Eastern. Guess some people like to be offended over just about anything 😊. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to your next video!

Nice. Great example of how a regional airport should be pitched. This airport completely eclipses Norwich airport, where they still, after 15 years, continue to charge a £10 "airport development fee" to every outbound passenger (despite NO recognisable development at all). Humberside looks compact, modern and comfortable, whereas Norwich is cold, uninviting expensive and completely devoid of character; the staff are patronising with an irritating sense of self-importance and an "Im doing you a favour" attitude. I live 30 miles from that tinpot, puffed-up centre of smugness, but refuse to fly it - me and my family would rather whip down to Essex and use STN every time.

@LETSGOInflightAviation 2 жыл бұрын

I can’t say I’ve ever used Norwich, but I completely agree! HUY have never charged a development fee and the airport is so relaxing to use and is so convenient when living nearby (like myself - I live 35 mins away!). I’ve got to say the times I’ve used STN I’ve found it to be very efficient! Thanks for watching 😊

It’s about improving regional connectivity across the UK. The response to the new flight has been very positive. I’m aware of plenty of people who use the route to meet with friends and family who live in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, and it’s a perfect route for those wanting to holiday in Cornwall

If you think outside of your box it opens the route to tourists who want to visit Newquay and pump money into your local economic bubble. Not overly difficult to comprehend really is it.

@droge192 2 жыл бұрын

Perhaps the service is intended for Lincolnshire residents to access the South West, to visit people (hopefully) more friendly and welcoming than you. I guess it's not all about little old you.

@BiloLCFC 2 жыл бұрын

As a Lincolnshire resident, road and rail links to Cornwall are pretty poor and the journey to Newquay is therefore pretty gruelling. Especially with a young child. This is much more intriguing.
