Mystery Norway flight lands in Exeter

An unusual late-night arrival at Exeter Airport has sparked curiosity after a direct flight from Oslo touched down on Tuesday evening.

The Scandinavian Airlines service, flight SK9105, is not part of Exeter’s regular scheduled routes but is understood to be part of a little-known weekly service linking Norway with Devon, bringing visitors directly into the South West without the need to travel via major UK hubs.

Operating typically on Tuesdays, the Oslo to Exeter route appears to be a pre-arranged charter-style service, most likely carrying organised tour groups rather than individual passengers.

Industry patterns suggest the flights are used by Scandinavian travel operators, with Devon and Cornwall proving increasingly popular for walking holidays, coastal breaks and nature tourism, particularly during the spring and summer months.

Exeter Airport’s location makes it an attractive entry point, allowing visitors to bypass larger airports such as Heathrow or Gatwick and head straight into the region.

While details of passengers on board are not publicly available, the regular timing and repeated use of the same flight number indicate a structured programme rather than a one-off charter or aircraft movement.

The arrival highlights the growing international appeal of the South West and suggests that demand from Nordic travellers remains strong.

With tourism playing a vital role in the local economy, such direct links – even if largely under the radar – could provide a quiet but valuable boost to Devon’s visitor numbers.
