The cost of parking in the new multi storey car-park isnt very helpful, a few days works out to just over £100 which costs more than the flights!

Another successful event happened last Sunday at Bristol Airport, thank you to everyone that came along to the event, there were many happy faces who enjoyed a day out which makes organising an event so worthwhile. We would also like to thank the airport police who gave an informative and...

Thank you for the good wishes. Unfortunately the aviation fair was just too successful and so it became a victim of its own success, the last aviation fair saw just over 1000 visitors, local radio and local TV were present as well. A few complaints were made by air crew that they couldnt park...

Apologies for not being very active on this group, I got my PPL in April 2017 and currently studying to become a commercial pilot. Aside from that I am holding a "spotters day" at Bristol Airport in the admin building (old terminal), tickets went on sale a few weeks back and sold out within...

Ive heard of it but dont remember it, I remember Brymon service to JER from there :)

Thanks, good to be back!

Yes its just too remote for passengers, cargo could work but I dont trust this RiverOak company who seem so determined to buy the airport, it seems odd to me that a US company would be so adamant on buying an airfield in Kent, maybe its just me?

Just catching up on this post, I dont think a runway extension over Felton Common would be possible as not only do you need to extend the runway you also need to put a taxiway alongside which widens the impact somewhat, either that or all aircraft would need to backtrack and turn 180' at the end!

I used to live in Kent and the airport has gone through so many owners, I just dont think it will ever "takeoff" as there arent enough potential customers nearby to use it, I know I will get shot for saying that but if it could work it would of done by now. Im sad it is closed and its an airport...

Thank you for this valuable information!

Sorry to start a new thread but didnt want to take over the Vueling one someone else had made, does anyone have any further information on which airlines and times will be arriving at BRS for the champions league final, we have heard Vueling are coming but also Air Europa but cannot find any...

Good news on a different route and something different at Bristol other than EZY and RYR!

The E170 has been in and out for a few weeks now operating some of the legs usually late afternoon/evening.

I dont think the new surface is that great, driving along it doesnt seem smooth to me and has the effect of wobbles and vibrations, why they couldnt carry onto the A370 and finish the job!

Thought I would update this thread with some more recent photos, this time from Tuesday 29th Nov 2016 with the first arrival from Germania: Germania Boeing 737-700 D-AGET by Simon Fewkes, on Flickr Ryanair Boeing 737-800 EI-DHG by Simon Fewkes, on Flickr Ryanair Boeing 737-800 EI-DHG by Simon...

I was very pleased to get the opportunity to display the mayflys on the BAS website, glad they are still of some use to many.

Not sure I would want to go all that way on a turboprop, slower aircraft and dont have the service ceiling of an Airbus, not exactly sure on speeds but am I right in thinking it would take quite a lot longer to reach KEF than a jet aircraft would? It does look unlikely WOW will return to BRS but...

I was unable to find another thread dedicated to this so thought best to start a new one, as some of you know I own and run Bristol Airport Spotting a group dedicated to spotting and aviation at Bristol Airport, recently the Apron website the airport managed was shutdown and we have taken over...

Great video, not having live in Bristol all my life its interesting to see the history of Bristol Airport and also Whitchurch Airport.

Thanks for the replies, alot of people knew him and alot didnt so thought it would be helpful to post on here as im aware not everyone uses Facebook. He was a very close friend and is very much missed by all.
