In its early years, Exeter Airport had limited use as a naval air base and a municipal aerodrome offering flights to the Channel Islands. Major facelifts through the 1980s and 1990s brought the facility up to date and the airport now handles a million passengers a year, with flights from Exeter covering the whole of Europe and some transatlantic routes.

The popularity and growth potential of Glasgow Airport was evident right from the start, as the facility welcomed its millionth passenger within 6 months of its official opening in 1966. After steady growth, flights to Glasgow increased substantially again in 1990 when the airport took on many transatlantic flights previously run from Prestwick. The facility has grown to handle around 9 million passengers a year and is now Scotland’s busiest airport.
