PLYMOUTH The owners of the UK's regional Plymouth City airport are to close the loss-making facility by the end of this year. Sutton Harbour Holdings, which also recently disposed of its regional airline Air Southwest, confirms the decision. "Plymouth City airport has been loss-making for a lengthy period of time and the board has concluded there is no realistic prospect of trade improving in the near future," it says. Air Southwest operates from Plymouth.
