Exeter Airport is situated in Devon, close to the city of Exeter. It handles around 950,000 passengers each year and handles a mixture of scheduled, charter and private passenger flights as well as some cargo flights.

Destinations include most major UK airports and a range of European airports, many of which are served by seasonal flights catering to peak season holiday demand.

Like many of the UK’s regional airports, Exeter Airport was first established during the 1930s and experienced considerable growth as a World War II RAF airfield. Heavily used by RAF fighters and by USAF planes ferrying troops to the D-Day beaches, Exeter Airport reverted to civil use in 1947, since when it has gradually grown.
