The Master Plan is looking to having the Flyer coach operate every ten minutes with one always at the airport loading pax. It would also run into the early hours, although doubtless at a reduced schedule during the night. The idea is to have the Flyer carrying 13% of airport pax by the time 9 million is reached compared to 5% at present.
Having an assistant at the airport coach stop at the busiest times seems the obvious thing to do, and I believe this is what will happen. I too have seen the Flyer take twenty minutes to load on occasions, because drivers usually load some of the travellers' suitcases in the luggage compartment under the bus before admitting the pax and taking fares.
With that and Bristol's nightmare traffic no wonder it is sometimes difficult for it to maintain its schedule.
Interesting initiative starting in the Chew Valley, even involving some who are opposed to the airport's expansion. Community mini buses are being set up, running on bio-fuel, and they will pick up commuters (mainly) from surrounding villages, take them to the airport and load them on to the Flyer for conveyance to Bristol. It is partly the idea of the airport bosses.
