It looks like we beat Birmingham in August according to the CAA
Likely due to the fact that Jet2 and TUI aren't operating to destinations where quarantine is required, yet easyJet and Ryanair are. Bristol has a far larger presence from the latter two, whereas BHX has more of the former.
There have been a lot of anomalies during the pandemic. For instance, in April BRS handled 357 passengers whereas Aberdeen handled over 32,000 and Norwich over 4,000. That month BRS was the 21st busiest UK airport measured by passenger numbers. In August it was the seventh busiest (prior to the virus it had settled into eighth position each month). I'm sure there will be more curiosities before the pandemic effects run their course.
