The return of easyJet on the Copenhagen route after an eight-year absence is excellent news, and a Scandinavian route again after SAS pulled out of the Stockholm and Oslo routes following their major downsizing around 2008.

Although the CAA provisional March stats for BRS have not yet been released the airport's own stats show a 3.77% increase in passenger numbers on March 2011, and the total passenger count for the first three months of 2012 is 1.64% up on the first three months of 2011.
Thus far then the steady though unspectacular progress of both 2010 and 2011 is being followed in 2012.
