19.04.08
Passengers were up by 12.1% at Bristol Airport in March to 503,449, with an increase in low cost and charter capacity.
Domestic passengers were down 11.3% (to 99,000), still seeing the affect of the cessation of BA Connect services last year, but international passengers increased 24.4% (to 325,000), mostly as a result of the opening of the new Ryanair base in November 2007. Charter passengers were up 3.9% (to 79,000) due to additional capacity over the Easter period.
In 12 months to the end of March there were 1.25m domestic passengers, down 8.6% on a year earlier, 3.4m international passengers, up 15.3% and 1.36m charter passengers, down 0.2%. In total there were 5.995m passengers, up 5.8%, with every prospect of the airport breaking the 6m mark next month.
