Recession over at BRS?
Things definatly looking up for BRS now, as reported in the last few weeks....
Ryanair - 5th aircraft with 5 new routes added
Easyjet - A320 added to the base and 2 new mid haul routes
Flybe - 1 new route added
Star Alliance - Based aircraft and increased frequency to BRU
TOM - Extra long haul BGI cruise flights
Also walkway seems to be on schedule and a newly refurbished departure lounge with new walk through duty free and extra level added.
Add in the based Viking Airlines from May.
And latest rumours (can anyone confirm?) extra MON charters for summer, could these be what MV mentioned? Or could the greece/turkey extra flights rumoured be one of the BRS loco's looking at ATH or IST, perfect for EZY's A320 or FR's 737NG??
Also noticed BMI website is showing BRS-FRA as a direct flight, but nothing in the time tables, could FRA be returning?
And to top it all .........
Comedian welcomes passengers to Bristol Airport
01.12.09
Comedian Justin Lee Collins will be the first voice greeting incoming passengers travelling through Bristol Airport, after he was persuaded to be the voice of a talking cone stationed at passport control in the international arrivals area.
The cone plays a very short message in which Justin welcomes passengers to Bristol and asks them to ‘mind the stairs’ in front of them. Jacqui Mills, public relations manager at Bristol Airport, said: ‘Justin is a great ambassador for Bristol and the region. We are delighted that visitors will be welcomed by his voice when they arrive at our airport.’
