BRS is hopeful of securing more routes at the World Route Development Forum in Copenhagen next week. An airport spokesman stated that Gibraltar, Warsaw, Copenhagen, Hamburg and Dusseldorf are on their priority list.
BRS is again amongst the awards.
Its impressive marketing team has, for the third consecutive year, taken the airport into the small group of finalists for the OAG marketing awards for airports up to 5 million annual pax. Last year BRS won the award, this year it was Highly Commended.
I suppose the airport will not be eligible for this category next year as it is almost up to 5 million pax for the rolling 12 months.
BRS is also on the short list for Best UK Airport to be decided next month at the Travel Trade Gazette's annual airport awards.
Finally, the EWR route carried nearly 9,000 pax in August, averaging nearly 142 per flight (load factor of around 82%), an encouraging move in the right direction.
So, plenty going on behind the scenes it would appear even though outwardly matters are fairly quiet, including this thread.
