The managing director of Exeter Airport has said it has had to recruit more permanent staff to traditionally seasonal roles, which could lead to higher travel prices.
The airport launched a recruitment drive at the start of the year, creating 30 jobs ahead of the holiday season which saw the start of new flight routes to North America.
Stephen Wiltshire told BBC Radio 4 - which reported there are currently a record 12,000 job vacancies in Devon - that it had had to take on more year-round workers, as customers returned to airports with the easing of Covid travel restrictions.
