Announced today that from 1 June this year BRS will have another scheduled German route to go with Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen.

It is Dusseldorf.

BA Connect say that Dusseldorf is their most requested business destination from Bristol, so they are giving it a go. Web timetable shows a mid morning departure from Bristol, arriving back mid afternoon (six rotations per week - none Saturdays).

The not-so-good news is that the FRA appears to have reverted to single daily (vide Mayfly), so presumably that is why they have an aircraft available for the new service.

On a different topic, I note that Macquarie Airports have an option to buy Ferrovial's 50% stake in Bristol Airport, and thus own BRS outright, should the Spanish group be successful in their bid for BAA and their part-ownership of BRS leads to competition issues.
