WORLD ROUTES: Bristol Airport Bullish on Prospects for Breakout Year :: Routesonline
Interesting report from the World Routes Conference currently taking place in Chicago that features an interview with Shaun Browne, the BRS Aviation Director.
Not only is 2014 expected to be a record year with around 6.3 million passengers but Browne is describing 2015 as a 'breakout' year with passenger volumes pushing towards 6.6 million and beyond.
The report states that details of an enhanced easyJet programme are expected soon which together with a bigger TUI offering next summer and other yet to be announced ventures will push up passenger numbers next year.
The report is well worth a read to anyone interested in the fortunes of BRS. Inevitably there is some spin but looking beyond that it does seem that the airport management is confident of a very good 2015, which may well be the reason why the eastern terminal extension is following on almost immediately after the completion of the central walkway with its new gates and pre-boarding areas.
