I am wondering if there is a new route in the pipeline? (Maybe US/ Middle East?)
From the press release on pax numbers from the BRS website:
Quote:
Shaun Browne, Aviation Director at Bristol Airport, said:
“These results follow an announcement by Flybe that it will operate a twice-daily service between Bristol and Belfast City from November. We hope to have further good news for travellers soon as we look to build the South West’s connectivity to key destinations across the world.”
Aye this is on the news that TOM are basing at least 1 B787 at Bristol, meaning they can fly to all sorts of luxurious destinations, from right here on our doorstep. Also there was a meeting a couple of months back with an american Carrier to take up the BRS-America route. My Money is on Delta, being part of the Skyteam it would make sense.
Also, the reasons why the MXP and BUD routes were dropped, as well as the VCE and PSA, is all over high airport landing fees and taxes.
Hope this helps
