Bristol Airport spreads its wings

Our Bristol Airport car parking team reports on the exciting new destinations Bristol Airport hopes to add to its route map after a successful industry conference.

Bristol Airport is a bustling place - just ask the staff at Bristol Airport parking experts BVP. With flights to over 90 destinations around the world, there’s always a customer flying off somewhere interesting.

Unwilling to rest on their laurels however, the management at Bristol Airport have been pushing to increase the importance of the regional airport, expanding everything from parking at Bristol Airport to the number of airlines which use the site.

In a bid to add fresh European routes to the airport, a delegation from Bristol recently attended the annual Routes Europe conference in Cagliari Sardinia. During the three day event, they met with representatives from 20 airlines to promote the opportunities available to airlines in the South West and promote what they can do as an airport.

The Bristol Airport presentation was very warmly received, and the announcement of several new routes is expected to be made over the next few months.

When asked about the presentation which was devised by South West creative agencies SBW and Noisy Little Monkey, Aviation Director at Bristol Airport, Shaun Browne said:

“Our presentation was very well received by the airlines who were impressed by the strength of the South West market. The diverse range of businesses based in the region, combined with a wealth of tourist attractions, makes a compelling case for a network of development managers to assess new route opportunities.”

“But we did not only get strong signals from airlines. It is also clear that Bristol is fast becoming a destination which other airports want to see on their departure boards. As a result, early indications for 2012 are very encouraging and we anticipate being in a position to make several significant announcements over the coming months.”
