Exeter Airport has been around for a while, it first opened in May 1937, with services to the Channel Islands by Jersey Airways.

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. Exeter Airport's real growth as an international airport really took off though from the early 1980s and through the 1990s to todays story of serving 500,000 passengers for the financial year ending November 2004. During this period long haul flights began to appear, particularly to Toronto in Canada and daily Flybe flights to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast, and of course all the major airlines like First Choice, Britannia, Spanair and Air Malta coming on board offering flights mainly to Mediterranean destinations.
Exeter Airport today is currently being sold off into private hands by the longterm owners Devon County Council, so it could be facing a new future! Growth will certainly be on the agenda, with new terminals and arrival lounges already appearing to cater for expanding demand.
