Newquay Airport 'mates' rates' cleared of fraud but raise CAA questions
On 19 August 2026, Cornwall Council promoted the region internationally as a place to live and invest, while the Sustainable Growth and Place Overview and Scrutiny Committee met with details pending. Separately, a report found that discounted 'mates' rates' at Newquay Airport did not constitute fraud but posed questions for the Civil Aviation Authority, and an FOI request was made.
