Exeter to North America air link set to boost South West overseas trade

South West business leaders have welcomed a new air link between Exeter Airport and North America saying it will be a boost to overseas trading.

Aer Lingus is launching the service in April 2022 with flights from Exeter to New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington and Toronto, via its Dublin hub. It means passengers can board a flight in Exeter at 9.15am and be in New York in time for dinner the same day.

Exeter departures are timed to connect seamlessly with transatlantic flights from Dublin and include through-ticketing, baggage transfer and pre-clearance of all US immigration and customs inspections at Dublin Airport, prior to departure.
