Bristol City Council
The anti BRS-expansion city council leader confirmed to the Bristol Evening Post today that she will be flying to the climate change conference in Copenhagen with two colleagues early next week - from Bristol Airport. No details given as to which hub will be used.
Brussels Airlines
To add a bit more to Ranger's post, the BRS website note includes the fact that the bmi regional crew will be based at BRS. I read elsewhere in PPRuNe that similar changes have been made to the Newcastle-Brussels route.
More New Routes?
The minutes of the last consultative committee meeting (21 October) contain a statement from CEO Robert Sinclair that, 'a number of new destinations were likely to be announced in the next few weeks'. Since then the Flybe IoM and Ryanair Treviso and Gdansk (back once again!) routes have been announced.
However, the CEO specifically mentioned new destinations in Turkey and Greece. The main Turkish holiday airports are already covered in summer charter mode, except Izmir which didn't return after summer 2008.
A number of Greek and Greek Island charter routes have disappeared in recent years, such as Volos, Santorini and Chania. Perhaps one or two of those might come back. Skiathos is back for next summer but that was announced some months ago.
Of course it could be a play on words with destinations meaning resorts not previously offered from existing airports.
