Very sad to hear this.

I returned to this Forum after a long absence and saw this. TLY is well loved on this forum. Any updates on how Jim is doing. Thanks

Terminal extension into the current Drop and Go. New parking stands but where is the space? Then subject to planning, 150 m runway extension and possibly few airbridges. But that is well into the future (4-10 years?)

Yes all taxi pickups will be from the interchange. Car rental bus pick up too. No ticket machines at the interchange for public buses. Buy tickets online or in the bus from driver.

The transport interchange will open to the public on Wed 16th July. All public buses will start and terminate at the interchange. Passengers can walk from the interchange to airport forecourt via a glass bridge. Silverzone bus passengers will also start and end their journey from Silverzone...

The landside M&S has shut. In its place will be another Burger King. M&S will move to the transport hub and rumours that there will also be other food stalls like Greggs in that hub

Driving daily through the airport I have noticed an issue with the new build. The new coach interchange was built on top of the existing short-term car park. The airport still retained large parts of the ST car park but all the work required a lot of soil to be loaded on the site. A fence was...

I am back after a big break. No plans for air bridges at all. But the coach interchange is coming along nicely at the front. Will be commissioned in 4 weeks time. Lots of talk about Pegasus airlines expanding at BRS. Does anyone know any details. Presumably they are all Turkish destination...

2 stores are leaving BRS airside shopping this week. SuperDrug and Claires Accessories. Both will be replaced by Boots. Claire Accessories has been trading airside for a long long time.

There was a spotters website that usually published the Mayflys. They stopped doing it during covid, have they resumed it now?

I presume you all know of the new Ryanair route to Poland starting in Oct. Destination has an unpronounceable name. Lufthansa, BA and Turkish on the horizon too. Just rumours though.

As of this week, M&S landside will be open 24 hrs

Was it part of the planning permission for that office block that an airport building could then become another money spinner for the company?

Was surprised to see a To Let sign on Lulsgate House office block at the Silver Zone right on the A38. Is it new sign. The office block was built just a few years as an administrative bldg for the airport. Why letting the entire building now as office space. Makes no sense.

On Wednesday 19th Jan I am totally flabbergasted that the first international arrival for the day is at 16.55 pm. Given that the airport has had regular flights all through Jan 22 approx 30 flights a day, this comes as a shock.
