I'm assuming that's with TUI?
Any link to this as March 2018 seems a long way off to release details, plus as much as it would be a new destination I wouldn't call it a 'new route' more like a 'new destination' as I should imagine there will only be a couple of flights at most.
But why Punta Cana before Florida!

Good news for Bristol then with three long haul destinations provided by TUI for 2018, I am pleased they have faith in flying 787s out of Bristol.
On another note when will airbridges be added at Bristol as I know they are in the master plan?

Doesn't seem to close, but apparently the east extension to the terminal and walkway has the fittings already fitted on the walkway so just the actual airbridge required. it is located adjacent to Stand 6-7, presently where the passenger holding lounge is located near the Fire Station

New here! Sorry if it has been asked before, I was wondering if there are any books that can be recommended about the history of Airports in the Bristol and Bath Areas or aviation in general in this area.

Ryanair
New route from 28 March: Zadar in Croatia, 2 x weekly, Tuesday and Saturday.
This will be the airport's third Croatia route with easyJet operating to Split and Dubrovnik - summer only as no doubt will be Zadar.
Thomson also operates a weekly charter to Dubrovnik in summer.
MissBHive,
Re your query, Bristol Airport is not well catered for in terms of books although an airport manager who retired last year was proposing to write a book about the airport. I don't know if that is still his intention and, if it is, how it is progressing.
A book that is available in the local libraries that was published several years ago is Somewhere In The West Country by Ken Wakefield. It traces the history of Bristol's first airport at Whitchurch from its inception through the 1930s, through WW2 (when it was the principle land airport from the UK with routes to neutral Portugal and the Republic of Ireland), and concludes with the post war operations before the city council transferred its airport to Lulsgate in 1957. It's a detailed history, very readable, with many photographs.
I have a slim volume with the title Whitchurch Airport, written by Gerald S Hart in 1997 which takes a look at this airport in the 1930s from the perspective of one who worked there briefly at that time.
Also in the Bristol Central Library are at least two books about Filton Airfield, lavishly illustrated with pictures, and of course books about Concorde invariably feature Filton.

MerchantVenturer,
Thanks for the reply, I was hoping for something covering the 1990's when I worked in the area. I will look for the book "Somewhere In The West Country" as it sounds interesting to find out about the origins of the Airport.
Once again thanks for the help and quick reply.

Someone with close links to BRS posted on another forum yesterday that the airport passed through the 7.5 million passenger barrier this week. This means that the airport will have progressed from 6.3 mppa to 7.5 mppa in the past two years.
The poster went on to say that the airport is on course to exceed 8 mppa in 2017 and that there are 'many exciting developments in the pipeline'. There are strong rumours of a new scheduled airline, although there is no hint as to whether it will be based at BRS.
Knowing the identity of the poster on that other forum I can say that he is in a position to know what he talking about on this subject.
