That's an extremely impressive operation by TUI at Exeter with some good destinations on offer with good frequencies as well.

[MARKEYD]

Flybe are basing another DCH 8 400 at Exeter this winter to operate extra services to CDG which becomes 2 x day and AMS which becomes 11 a week and and extra service to MAN again taking the service to 4 daily
Along with the based EMB 195 which continues to operate to ALC , FAO , AGP , CMF and NWI this winter and again will operate a full sun schedule for the whole of next summer with some flights again to Norwich

This takes Exeter to 4 base DCH 8 400 , 1 EMB 195 and a TUI 738 not bad for a regional airport

[Nakata77]

Whilst I am very happy for EXT, I am perplexed that BOH continues to do without direct service to similar destinations.

Exeter population 110,000
Bournemouth population (with Poole and Christchurch attached) 450,000

[SWBKCB]

Because flybe have a base at SOU - 30 miles away?

[cuthere]

Add Torbay: 130,000, Plymouth: 263,000 etc etc.

[Nakata77]

Good point - would the likes of Jet2 ever be interested in Exeter?

[EGTE]

The total population of Devon was estimated in 2017 to be over 1.1 million. Plenty of potential passengers amongst that lot.

[virginblue]

Why on earth is EXT-NWI operated with an E95? I struggle to see potential for a Q400, let alone for an E95 as I would categorize this as a rather thin regional route. What am I missing here?

[cornishsimon]

I think they use theE95 to NWI to position the aircraft up to NWI to operate sun routes but it then returns to Exeter on a revenue flight.

Well that was the original plan, not sure it’s still the case

[PDXCWL45]

Both sectors of the NWI flight are on sale. I believe the flights generally operate as an example EXT-ALC-NWI-EXT then EXT-NWI-ALC-EXT. In 2017 27,309 passengers used the route Exeter to Norwich route.

[shamrock7seal]

I would love to know more about who these people are flying between EXT and NWI but a quick check on google maps shows a horrendous 5.5hr road journey and a hellish train service if one wants to get from West to East or vice versa...

[cornishsimon]

Sorry that’s what I meant. It’s s revenue generating positioning flight

[fotheringay]

I believe the route, just lately, has been operating nearly full. Anything which prevents driving, or getting stuck, on the M25 or travelling on the tube between mainline stations in London has to be a good thing. The air fare, if booked in advance, is cheaper than the train and only takes 40 mins, take off to touchdown. Recommend it as a way of getting to the West Country.

New Routes

Ryanair have just announced the following routes commencing S19, EXTMLA, EXTNAP & EXTAGP.

[shamrock7seal]

Wonder if Rigby will manage to develop Ryanair at Norwich also as that is a Rigby airport.

Great news for Exeter airport as this will surely provide more competition and an alternative to BRS for those in the West Country

[4eyed anorak]

At last an alternative to Flybe! Flying from Exeter you're punished finacially for that pleasure by Flybe. Hopefully fares will come down in the future.
Great news all round
