Devon's main airport.
Exeter Airport sits in Clyst Honiton on the M5 corridor, serving Devon, Cornwall and the wider South West. It handles around 500,000 passengers a year from a single, modest terminal, passenger numbers have been below the pre-pandemic peak in recent years.
Carriers are led by Loganair (Channel Islands and UK domestic), Ryanair, TUI and Eastern Airways. The route map is mainly UK domestic and short-haul European leisure, with seasonal long-thin charters in summer.
The airport's compact size means door-to-gate times are short, security can be cleared in minutes outside peak hours.
All the practical access info, by car, train, coach and otherwise.

Off-airport supply is limited, a handful of operators in Clyst Honiton and Pinhoe serve the airport. Savings versus on-airport are modest given Exeter's already-low rates.
