Air passengers figures reach high

An airport in Devon has just recorded its highest monthly figures in its 70 year history.

In July more than 110,000 people used Exeter Airport, pushing up passenger numbers by 5.5% year on year.

Exeter Airport commercial director, Jamie Christon, said: "People are realising that regional airports are easier to negotiate your way around.

"The recent spell of bad weather has obviously encouraged more people to head abroad too."
