Bristol Airport passengers use US connections
18.01.09
A large proportion of passengers using the Continental Airlines flights from Bristol Airport to New York are taking advantage of the US airline's connecting services to destinations throughout America.
Since its launch in May 2005, Continental has carried more than 250,000 people across the Atlantic on the service. And the airport has revealed that around 50% of those taking the flights have flown on to a destination beyond New York, making use of Continental's network of services across the USA, Canada and Latin America.
Shaun Browne, the airport's aviation director, said: 'Continental's service doesn't just make New York accessible, it puts destinations across North and South America within reach of south-west passengers, without the hassle of flying from airports outside the region.'
In 2008, Orlando was the most popular final destination, followed by Las Vegas, Boston, San Francisco and Tampa for leisure travellers. Connections to Houston were the most useful for business travellers, followed by Chicago, Indianapolis, Atlanta and Cleveland.
