Exeter Airport expands its reach to Portugal with new Ryanair flights to Faro

Exeter Airport is celebrating the start of new Ryanair flights to Faro in Portugal this weekend (June 4), marking the start of a twice weekly service on Wednesdays and Sundays.

The launch of Ryanair's flights to Faro further strengthens our commitment to providing a diverse range of travel options for our passengers.
