I’d like to see better global connections from BRS like Turkish Airlines to Istanbul, Emirates to Dubai (787-8 or 9 has no issue with BRS runway length as far as I know) becasue further expansion into European sun and city routes seems overkill.
There can hardly be any short haul leakage to London airports anymore from the BRS catchment
Easyjet must feel there is as they continue to expand and Easyjet aren't exactly a reckless airline. Emirates don't have the aircraft to operate from Bristol and Etihad are cutting routes with Qatar in the area can't see either being interested. Turkish is an interesting one but surely if they were going to operate from Bristol they'd have started by now?
Bristols long haul hopes lies with TUI.
