South West travellers urged to use Bristol Airport
13.10.07
Holidaymakers in the south-west of England are being urged to use Bristol Airport rather than travelling to one of the bigger south-eastern hubs. The airport offers transatlantic flights as well as an increasing number of routes to continental Europe.
Tony Hallwood, aviation development director at Bristol Airport, said that those wanting to travel to New York in particular should consider flying from Bristol, as its daily service by Continental Airlines makes the Big Apple 'convenient and affordable'. The US airline also offers direct connections to more than 140 locations within the USA, Canada and South America from its New York hub.
Other airlines that fly from Bristol Airport include Air France and KLM to Paris and Amsterdam, plus easyJet and Ryanair to a growing roster of European routes. Ryanair announced three new French routes just last week.
Seven million people live within a two-hour drive of the airport, and Mr. Hallwood added: 'Our message to those travellers still making road or rail journeys to airports in the south-east in order to travel is simple - choose Bristol International and we guarantee a speedier, less stressful and more environmentally-friendly journey.'
