reading the news about CWL - Not great for the welsh government when it comes to the public purse and financial losses and Wizz pulling out, it’s another big blow.
With BRS stating possible further big growth this year with passenger numbers, what do we think the long term prospects are across the water? What does it mean for BRS? Just wondering….

Means they dominate the South West of Britain market even more than they do now. More profit for their owners and based airlines.

Acl start of season report is out for viewing now. It shows that Southwind is planning a twice weekly Antalya and Freebird is planning flights to both Antalya and Dalaman. Any idea who these will be flying for ?

I'd expect Freebird is TUI

You aren't the only one to miss him, I think he is a great loss to the forum.

 

[Marko1]

I second that , LY was a font of knowledge on all things Bristol.

 

[Jerry]

Yep he is greatly missed.

 

[forest1979]

I hadn’t seen this.. yes a great shame. I enjoyed his posts and updates.. as people said, a real loss..

Appeal against Bristol Airport's major expansion plans dismissed

Bristol Airport has welcomed the court's decision

www.bristolpost.co.uk

Now it’s in the public domain I thought this might make interesting reading for those keen on the future of BRS.

 

[Marko1]

excellent news - when can we expect works to begin ?

 

[tpm]

So when can we expect an application for the next stage towards 15mppa to go in?

Probably need to do that pretty soon in order to get it through by 2030? 😉

Phenomenal, have you manage to pin it down to the best hour, most airlines at the same time? Could be a good photo opportunity for somebody.

I will hazard a guess it will need to be within the next couple of years or it will stunt the airports growth. Realistically though, what is likely to be the maximum capacity for Bristol Airport? I am surmising here as I'm not from the area but the airport will have it's limits due to the topography of the area limiting expansion potential at some point in the future.
