EasyJet plan to base a 17th A320 at Bristol in Summer 22

[MerchantVenturer]

17 was also the base size in summer 2019 - ten A320s and seven A319s.

Currently peak summer 2022 seems to be two A321s, twelve A320s and three A319s - so no more aircraft than in summer 2019 but more seats.

Three planning inspectors have allowed Bristol Airport's appeal against North Somerset Council's rejection of the airport's planning application to increase its planning cap to 12 mppa with associated infrastructure development.

This follows a 36-day planning enquiry held last year.

Cue wailing and gnashing of teeth from the ecoloons infesting North Somerset Council.

They have said that they'll look at grounds for appealing the decision.

[MerchantVenturer]

As expected one of the opposition groups has launched a legal challenge in the High Court against the Planning Inspectorate's decision to allow Bristol Airport's appeal against North Somerset Council's decision to reject the airport's planning application to increase its annual passenger cap to 12 mppa with related infrastructure expansion. The group believes the three planning inspectors erred in law in coming to their decision.

North Somerset Council will not challenge the decision. The leader of the council said that a legal challenge would carry 'a high level of risk' and result in 'significant further costs'.

He went on to say, 'A legal challenge through the High Court can only be successful if the inspectors can be shown to have erred in law. Unfortunately our disagreement with the inspectors' conclusions on the planning merits is not a relevant ground for challenge'.

Good news for the airport today, hopefully the end of a long-running saga.

Nice to see a bit of premium at BRS for a change with new 1903 and Escape lounges opening later in the year. Can actually be sometimes good value. Wonder if airlines will use for J pax?
Interesting 1903 brand is ‘adults only’

And they are being run by a Manchester Airport subsidiary company

Disappointing to discover TUI are pulling long haul flights in 2024. No reasons given beyond ‘we’ve reviewed our programme’, but we’ve had to swap to Gatwick.

XC to AYT

Looks like Corendon are reducing their AYT service from BRS just 1 x per week from 3rd June (currently 2 x per week)

Wizz

Wizz-Looks like Wizz Air are leaving BRS as the last Katowice is on the 5th November. I wonder if they will be back?

[GayFriendly]

Apparently they're pulling all services from EDI as well. Wonder if BHX and LPL will see cuts or Wizz disappear?
