Exeter Airport, Parking & Flights
Exeter Airport has been around for a while, it first opened in May 1937, with services to the Channel Islands by Jersey Airways. This was shortly followed by flights to Plymouth and Cardiff by Railway Air Services. Exeter Airport grew steadily in the late 1930s, offering UK services to Bristol, Lands End, the Channel Islands and Bournemouth to name a few. In the War years it was a strategic RAF base.
