2016
Someone with close links to BRS posted on another forum yesterday that the airport passed through the 7.5 million passenger barrier this week. This means that the airport will have progressed from 6.3 mppa to 7.5 mppa in the past two years.
The poster went on to say that the airport is on course to exceed 8 mppa in 2017 and that there are 'many exciting developments in the pipeline'. There are strong rumours of a new scheduled airline, although there is no hint as to whether it will be based at BRS.
Knowing the identity of the poster on that other forum I can say that he is in a position to know what he talking about on this subject.
