Grace Dent follows Cornwall Airport Newquay over the tough pandemic winter.
The Untold has been tracking the fortunes of the airport since March 2020, when the regional airline Flybe collapsed. Since then successive lockdowns and travel restrictions have left the airport close to permanent closure.
The Untold follows the airport鈥檚 director and staff over the difficult winter months, as well as speaking to one of the airport鈥檚 taxi drivers and the owners of the nearby airport hotel, the Smugglers' Inn.
As winter turns to spring, finally there's some much-needed good news.
