Airline boss hints at long-haul destinations from Bristol | This is Bristol
Piece in the local paper this week where easyJet's UK Director is suggesting that they are looking at more longer haul destinations from Bristol - currently the longest routes the airline flies from the airport are Bodrum, Dalaman, Paphos, Corfu, Heraklion, Fuerteventura and Tenerife, some of which are seasonal.
He also said they've been speaking to major employers in the area with a view to improving their share of the business market from BRS.
From next week easyJet will require eleven based aircraft to operate their schedule with Mayfly showing 9 319s and 2 320s. Last summer the eleventh aircraft (the second 320) only operated from the end of July to mid September.
easyJet's new (for BRS) Naples route commences today at 3 x weekly. Thomson has retained its summer charter service to Naples at 2 x weekly.
