Now it is my turn to laugh.....It wasnt long ago that F/C bringing a B787 was going to be the 'saviour' of BRS according to CWL! Now CWL are praying on the 'airline that cant be mentioned' to rescue them! The reason they cant be mentioned is because its a farcical airline set up to bleed development money from the Welsh and EU!!!
If I squint long enough I can see you all over there clutching at straws!

Cym - you hit the nail on the head on your first part but missed by a mile on the second part - if CWL is incapable of being able to demonstrate a need for a ZRH, what chance do they have with DXB!? I would image Emirates would require a throughput of more than 2 million to launch a route from there. I would aim for a NYC route first IMO!

BRS is currently too small for the traffic we have, but we cope and things are changing. Your right that BRS will have challenges ahead, but we will meet them head on and will continue to gain new airlines and routes-mark my words! Against all odds Bristol is thriving and will continue to do so.
