Filton's runway also closed at the end of 2012 although the aviation industries around the site remain.
It was never a fully blown airport, despite BAE trying to turn it into a city airport in the mid 1990s but were rebuffed after a planning enquiry, but as well as its MRO traffic it saw biz jets and air taxi as well as regular shuttles for some of the industry employees to other plants. Filton also took some BRS diversions in the past.
Any lingering hope that it could still become Bristol's airport has now gone for ever.
