Thank you for confirming the site closure, daniel. I understand entirely why you closed it down and was half expecting you to for the reasons you have given.

Thank you for the work you and your colleague put into the initiative and some positives did emerge: for example, you harnessed much support for the airport's Western Walkway at the time the local authority was prevaricating over its decision as to whether it could be considered GPD.

Airport Name Change

I understood the airport is to go back to its previous title of Bristol Airport which if this is the case I support because calling a regional airport 'International' is pretentious and unnecessary in my view, though some UK airports smaller than Bristol still do so.

February Passenger Figures

They are very good figures especially having regard to the relatively small percentage increase in flight numbers because it means the 14% increase in passenger numbers is not simply the result of a lot more flights.
