How many aircraft in total would that be?

But nothing on the airport's own website today? Making a big splash there would not have cost the earth. Today's launch has been ignored completely in that medium. Perhaps airport websites are now regarded as old-fashioned in some quarters but some airports still make great use of them to...

There are several comments in another aviation website saying that the airport reaction to today's first Wizz Air flights was surprisingly low-key. Even if the airport media team has been stood down there must be some sort of PR presence. Given the potential that Wizz has to bring to the...

Further to the previous post, this week the total airline daily departure numbers have been in the range 75-85 depending on day of the week. I saw no cancellations shown on Tuesday or Wednesday which is encouraging considering the number of BRS departures and the number that easyJet and other...

I see. I'm not well up on detailed DSA matters although I have a general idea of what goes on there. Many thanks for the explanation.

Most airports with any sort of passenger service have experienced 'holiday ruined' stories in recent times because of the challenging staffing level situations currently obtaining, with Covid staff absences only adding to the problems. I suspect we shall hear of more in the coming days and...

A three aircraft base must be a target in the fairly near future with eventual growth on that. CWL has a proven track record for summer sun routes albeit one has to go back to before the pre-noughties recession for the real evidence. In 2007 when the airport handled 2.1 million passengers it...

Strangely balanced departure times: 2030, 2045 and 2155 from LHR.

Further to the previous post, the airport's original planning application to the local authority included binding commitments to increase the provision of public transport serving the airport at a specific minimum level year on year on pain of penalty. I'm sure the intention will be to do that...

The liveried A3 buses were used on normal bus services in and around Bristol during much of the pandemic. The same applies with some of the liveried A1 double-deckers that are currently not needed because the full schedule is yet to return. I've not seen any of the liveried A2 double-decker...

Airport press release issued today: https://www.bristolairport.co.uk/about-us/news-and-media/news-and-media-centre/2022/04/easter-getaway-2022 Easter Getaway 2022 – Plan, Prepare and Arrive Early Created: 6th Apr 2022 Bristol Airport is advising customers to arrive early as the Airport is...

I think that is far more likely and is in line with the sort of numbers mentioned pre-pandemic. Still a big pool from which to grab some back though. Aviation invariably says that Airport A handles x million passengers a year. What they really mean is that the airport handles x million...

The article has exaggerated the effect of the Bristol CAZ. Already over 70% of cars are compliant and will not be subject to the charge with the number set to grow which will cause people to wonder about the point of it all. It's something the government (the one that is quite content to permit...

It looks like a fleet designed to carry American convicts. Must be some sort of in-joke.

Monday 4 April 2022 There have been reports in the press in recent days of easyJet and other airlines having to cancel numerous flights because of staff shortages through Covid sickness. easyJet has cancelled a handful of BRS flights over the past few days as discussed in the BRS easyJet...

That would be an excellent beginning and who knows how things might develop over time? Touching on another active CWL forum, if Wales did become independent CWL would become a different animal as the national airport for a sovereign state. That would be an exciting prospect for the country, let...

If Wales gained independence so almost certainly would have Scotland, so it might be a question of England's institutions rather than the UK's which might no longer exist other than in perhaps a small Union with Northern Ireland.

That would be quite something -19 aircraft.
