Exeter Airport by Mark Ellicott

It's a great small airport but now outgrowing its terminal building. Given that more than one million people a year are using the airport there is an urgent need to build a larger building with superior and more varied shopping facilities to accommodate that extra trade. The terminal building at Guernsey airport is perhaps what Exeter should be aiming for.

Great regional airport, small but perfectly packaged, we left early on one of the first flights on a Saturday morning, only problem check in started at 4:30am but security didn't open until 5am but concourse coffee bar was open. Once through security everything was open and adequate.

Having used the airport a few times this year, I am impressed by the number of destinations that can be flown to from Exeter but the terminal is desperately small now for the number of passengers it handles. I was there on a saturday recently for a flight to Edinburgh and people were having to sit on the floor everywhere because of the sheer volume of passengers. I also find the shopping airside woefully inadequate and the fact the departure lounge has no windows whatsoever I find somewhat claustrophobic after a while. However if you fly on a quieter day it's a great place and so easy to get to and leave from and luggage is out in no time. Hopefully when the new terminal is built all these issues will be addressed.

Use this airport quite often. The building work in the check in area has been completed and it is now so much better, lighter and more spacious. Some days have very busy periods ie Tuesday mornings when there are queues at the check in desks. The staff are pleasant, helpful and usually very professional especially security who have a very difficult job to do both inside and outside the terminal. The airport is very well run and kept clean. Departure and arrivals areas both work well. New hangers for Flybe are advancing well (not funded by airport).

The airport is still having work carried out on it, and it is a little difficult to comment. but it did what I wanted it to. although my main reservation was in the departure lounge is a room with no windows, so once through customs you have no natural sunlight or viewing area until your flight is called.

Flew in on 28th march. Last time arrivals had renewal work in progress and a bit of a mess - however this time all the work seemed to be done and it was a pleasure to retrieve ones baggage speedily and be on my way. The departure check in is now in the act of being updated, and was congested at the check in. In fact wife and myself were in the wrong queue as there were two queues, and only on getiing up the line realised that the FLYBE people were in another line. Once through security, again a big plus as they were very thorough - departure lounge modern and spacious. When completed this airport will be a good example of what a regional airport should be.

Plans to upgrade the terminal will be finalised once the airport has been sold to the private sector where funding is not so much of an issues. It is also worth noting that the new hangars are Flybe's and apart from sitting on airport land, they are not being paid for by the airport.

Passed through EXT this past weekend for a flight to Belfast - given the amount of flights the airport is now handling, especially during the summer season, the passenger terminal is now too small & crowded for the number of passengers it's having to cope with. I'm aware there are plans to eventually build a new terminal, but it seems the airport have opted to upgrade hanger facilities first - which from a passenger's point of view seems the wrong way around!

As airports go this one is nice a compact and has great road links with the rest of Devon and Cornwall. If you have a choice between Exeter, Plymouth and Bristol my advice would be to choose Exeter, Bristol may be bigger but the road to the airport is a real pain. Plymouth Airport is drab and tiny. Exeter is right on the A30 dual carriageway and the new departure lounge has made a real difference. Its great that the number of scheduled flights available from the airport are increasing too!
