Flybe has announced details of a new route between Norwich and Exeter, which has been launched thanks to the government's Regional Air Connectivity Fund.
The new one-hour service will be launched on March 24, with a choice of six flights a week.
Aviation minister Robert Goodwill praised the initiative for cutting travel time for passengers.
'Our smaller airports are vital engines for local economies, connecting the UK and opening up opportunities,' he said.
Both airports are owned by the Rigby Group, which bought Norwich International Airport in 2014.
Richard Pace, general manager at Norwich Airport, said the airport was also looking forward to the launch of flights to Alicante and Malaga in March.
