From Blackpool Today
Blackpool International Airport owners City Hopper are thought to be closing in on the sale of the South West's (far) largest regional airport.
Exeter Airport – which is home to fast growing no-frills airline Flybe – is at the centre of a £100m takeover bid.
Paul Whelan, executive chairman of City Hopper, said: "We are very close to a decision on the sale of Exeter Airport. We have been in discussion for several months are we are expecting an announcement very soon."
