BRS has issued a press release, reproduced in part below, saying that this year saw the busiest ever June.
Bristol Airport recorded its busiest ever June last month, with over 625,000 passengers travelling through the terminal. This surpassed the previous record, set back in 2008, by 15,000 and represented a 3.4 per cent increase on the same month last year - despite the 2012 figure being boosted by a late Whitsun Bank Holiday and the Queen’s Jubilee.
Growth was recorded across all airline sectors, with bmi regional’s new services to Frankfurt, Munich and Hamburg performing particularly well. KLM’s four-times daily service to Amsterdam also carried 12 per cent more passengers than in the previous year, benefiting from the introduction of a larger Embraer 190 aircraft on the route.

Record June at Bristol Airport ? Bristol Airport
It must be gratifying that some of the bmi regional routes are beginning to do well although individual route statistics won't be available until the CAA reports later this month.
It seems as though 2013 will be the fourth consecutive year to see an annual passenger rise and at present the airport is well on course to exceed 6 mppa for the second time in its history after the 6.228 mppa in 2008.
