Yep Cardiff is also closed at night, and that is the only other airport that Bristol provides ATC traffic into. Also Bristol has had major work on the runway recently, so has been closed for diversions, adding to that it is also too small a runway to take large aircraft. (757 max capacity) Also Bristol's radar zone is capped with airways 7000ft+ above it.
