Exeter International Airport (IATA: EXT, ICAO: EGTE) is an international airport close to the city of Exeter in the county of Devon, England. A majority share of the airport has recently been sold by Devon County Council to Regional and City Airports; a consortium comprising construction firm Balfour Beatty and London City Airport. The airport was constructed in 1937 at a cost of about £20,000. During World War II it was home to the Polish Air Force flying Hurricane aircraft in the defence of the Southwest from German aerial attack.
The runway is 08/26, and although there are two smaller runways, they are now disused and used for Aircraft storage.
The airport has a large General Aviation community and is regularly used as a staging point for longer flights across the South West of England.
Exeter International has a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence (Number P759) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction.
