Ryanair celebrates 6 millionth passenger at Bristol Airport
17.03.11
Ryanair carried its six millionth passenger from Bristol Airport this week. Keely Jarvis from Aberdare, South Wales was the lucky six millionth passenger when she landed at Bristol Airport on a Ryanair flight from Dublin. She was presented with a bottle of champagne and a pair of return tickets to Valencia with the airline from Bristol.
Starting with one route in 1997, Ryanair now has five aircraft based at Bristol Airport, serving 29 destinations, including the addition of Ibiza from the end of March. Other popular routes include Venice, Beziers, Malta and Marrakesh.
Bristol Airport aviation director Shaun Browne said: ’When you consider that the number of passengers carried by Ryanair since it started operations from Bristol Airport is around 14 times the population of the city itself, it is clear how big an impact low fares flying has had on our travel habits. For many people, destinations that were previously out of reach are now accessible for business, holiday breaks or visiting friends and family.’
