MD of Exeter Airport, Matt Roache adds: “We are delighted with the reintroduction of flights to Newcastle. These flights were popular with business and leisure passengers alike and I’m sure will be well supported. These new flights further cement the airport’s role as the key gateway into and out of the South West peninsula, working towards our key objective of providing enhanced connectivity for the region.”
