Wowboy ,
Aeroconejo should be in the know if anyone is.
Air Wales started off with one D228 and now have 5 ATR 42s and from my exalted position in the tower I can see just how many people pack inside them. The next step would be jets and i wish them good Luck.
We have been advised that there will be no specific growth this year but that we can expect a great deal more next year, rumours abound,if even one comes to fruition then it will be good news for us.
As Aeroconejo said their are plans already drafted for a new terminal and they are great, they are however, we are told, linked to Pax growth through the airport. To me the new terminal would increase the growth but it is a bit of a chicken and egg scenario.
New Hotels are going up near the airport, the new transport link will be in place really soon with the Red Arrows doing us a lovely display to celebrate its opening. Zoom opening up Vancouver routes.
We are not an airport to be written off by any means and there is absolutely no reason for both Bristol and Cardiff to thrive side by side.
