Bristol and its hinterland is one of the wealthiest and economically vibrant city regions in the country with plenty of well-off people, often older and retired, with the means, desire and time to travel for leisure. This was one of the reasons why GoFly chose BRS as their second base - vide Barbara Cassani in her book - and easyJet has seen continual growth there since buying Go.
BRS's outperformance is by coincidence being discussed in the Bristol Airport thread today.
In summer 2019 a TUI B787 will operate these routes from BRS.

So summer 2020 will not be the first year that a B787 will operate short-haul routes from the airport. It might be partly down to fewer available seats on the narrow-bodied aircraft given that the airport's two based B757s are being withdrawn leaving it with four B738s instead of two B757s and two B738s as has been the case in recent summers.
