Airbridges at UK regional airpots
 

What UK regional airports have airbridges, I know Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Belfast Int. and Cardiff have but does Edinburgh have them, LBA have them and does Bristol have them on its new terminal, and does EMA have them or not?

EDI certainly has them. You'll find that most airport's have them, in one shape or another.

SOU haven't

LDY haven't

LTN doesn't either!!!

BRS does not. Bus or walk.

I was surprised about Bristol I have to say.

I flew in there on Monday and we parked nose in but the punters still had to walk it into the terminal. If you're going to build a nice new terminal, why not stick a couple of bridges on the end of it?

Oh yeah, while I remember, Exeter, Plymouth, and Newquay don't have bridges. Nor does Norwich. Or Sheffield City...

DJXL-

Was at Newquay last week, it was genuinely the smallest terminal I have ever seen, just one room- no wonder they don't have bridges for that Brymon Dash 8 that comes in every now and again ;) (mind you, I did see a Scilliona Otter as well)

LBA 1. NCL 2. Wick 0.

Newquay is a bit of a laugh isn't it? The runway is soooo wide you can hardly judge your height so you end up holding it in the flare and waiting for the wheels to hit the deck.

The one and only time I've ventured into Newquay the terminal was being tarted up. There was scaffolding everywhere and the cafe was a series of cheap IKEA plastic chairs around a crappy wooden table. I don't know what it's like now but the only comparison I can make is with Plymouth City's terminal. Look out the window and you'll see the same aircraft as well!

All good fun...

Newcastle has two, but until recently reliability was a major problem. Now the only problem is that it often takes almost as long to dock as the taxi from the end of 25.
