Higher, further, faster... South West England has one of the UK's fastest growing air transport network - including the Uk's fastest growing airport - Bournemouth (46% in 2002). Bristol is also expanding rapidly and now offers services to 330 destinations worldwide, while Exeter anticipates a near doubling in capacity in 2008. 
 
South West England's infrastructure of modern airports, quality road, rail and sea links ensure that businesses in the region have quick and easy access to their markets and suppliers - nationally and internationally.

By Air 
As well as rapid road and rail connections to Heathrow and Birmingham airports, South West England has two of the UK's fastest growing airports offering international and domestic flights - Bristol and Bournemouth - as well as regional airports serving Exeter, Plymouth and Newquay. 
 
By Road 
The M4 and M5 motorways connect the South West with the rest of the UK and - via the Channel Tunnel - Europe and beyond. The region's roads are also amongst the safest in Europe. 
 
By Rail 
The region is especially well served by rail links connecting passengers and freight direct not only into London but to all parts of the UK and Continental Europe. Several multi-modal road/rail transport hubs are now established (including Swindon and Avonmouth). 
 
By Sea 
Busy commercial ports at Bristol, Falmouth, Plymouth, Portland, Weymouth, Poole and Teignmouth offer the seaborne option for freight. The Avonmouth docks near Bristol, for instance, handled over 0.5 million cars in 2001. 
 
By Broadband 
And of course, the vital connection backbone for modern businesses is also highly developed in South West England. The transatlantic fibre-optic cable enters the UK at Cornwall, with access points available throughout its passage across the region.
