Flybe BRS-Isle of Man

It seems that the service has been re-instated for next summer - early April to late October on Tue, Thur and Sat as last summer.

It's shown in the Flybe web timetable and is bookable on their website.

Bristol Flying Centre

Bristol Flying Centre set for huge growth in 2013

Bristol Flying Centre expects passenger numbers to rise 1,700%

The Bristol Flying Centre which incorporates charter operator Centrelineair has been appointed by bmiregional to handle passengers on the Airbus corporate shuttle service from Bristol to Toulouse from next month. The service will switch to BRS following the closure of the Filton runway.

The BFC has also agreed terms to handle an as yet unnamed 'global brand'.

The result will be a huge increase in passenger numbers to around 84,000 a year from the dedicated site on the south side of the airfield that will see a significant enlargement in its passenger handling capabilities, including two passenger lounges, a crew lounge, security screening facilities and redesigned reception areas.

The BFC CEO Phil Brockwell is quoted: “Our business aviation facility here at Bristol Airport has always been one of the best equipped in the country for aircraft handling and by the end of the year our expanded passenger facilities will complete the first class offering we can give to our customers."

“The bmi regional contract alone will see an additional 40 Embraer 145 movements a week here....................................”
