Exeter Airport will launch a twice-weekly Ryanair service to Porto, Portugal from summer 2027.

Exeter Airport is launching a new twice-weekly Ryanair service to Porto in northern Portugal from summer 2027, with flights operating on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The North Devon Gazette reports that the service will reduce travel time from five hours or more to just two hours.

Porto is known for its historic city centre, riverside setting and port wine cellars, and offers access to attractions including the Douro Valley vineyards and the Atlantic coast beaches. The route announcement marks a further expansion of Ryanair's operations at Exeter Airport, which already operates services to Alicante and Málaga in Spain, and Faro in Portugal. The airline increased the frequency of its Málaga route for summer 2026.

Stephen Wiltshire, Managing Director of Exeter Airport, said the new route builds on strong growth in passenger numbers and represents positive development for Exeter and the South West. Flights are available to book now, with the service among the first 29 routes announced by Ryanair for its summer 2027 schedule.
