Bristol Numbers

In term of passenger traffic about 20% of passengers at BRS come from South Wales. Whilst that represents a sizeable number they are spread thinly. I often hear a Welsh accent on a BRS flight, but...

BRS Expansion

No great surprise that they rejected it. It has always been on the cards since the last local elections. BRS will get it on appeal, because the application was supported by the planning department....

The feedback for WOW on Skytrax is appalling. Many people have given the airline a bare minimum of 1/10. It appears that huge delays are common. On a different note I was clearing out the attic today...

Bonkers Airport!

The history of Ciudad Real Airport is just nuts. It is a great representation of how the world just binged on debt in the mid 2000's. It's a shame they didn't punt £1.1billion BRS's way!

It's my understanding that the BA 787's will pass through CWL for initial training and then maintenance in due course.
