Hmmm, it was just the very definite wording of the post - as if there had been a press release and all. I've propogated plenty of rumour on this site over the years so I can hardly protest too much.
It ain't even close to being feasible is the bottom line. Bristol is a 24hr international airport on the UK top ten list of airports. It has made double digit annual growth for a couple of years now and has a couple of years left to go.
The weather isn't a problem and the runway isn't a problem. The biggest problem is the car parking - but then thats true of EVERY top ten airport in the country.
No disrespect but Exeter will remain easyJets 2nd choice diversion airfield and nothing more.
Cheers
