Security is still a major issue when the early morning wave of flights depart Exeter. As a regular commuter it is incredibly frustrating that Exeter Airport appear to pretend it is not!
Many comments are very valid on this thread but, trying to be constructive on the topic, wouldn't the whole security process at Exeter be improved if there was an area where, say, up to 3 people can prepare their trays with belts, jackets, laptops etc immediately before they reach the scanners? This happens at 99% of other airports I travel through who handle far greater passenger numbers and this seems a logical and simple improvement that Exeter could make.
Exeter Airport would then also benefit from additional revenues as pax are airside spending money rather than getting frustrated queuing and considering the choice of Bristol next time.
A little more urgency by the security staff at the scanners would also help.
Great regional airport but still falling a little short of the mark.
