20.06.08
Passengers were up 14.8% at Bristol Airport at 586,000 due to additional low cost capacity. Domestic traffic was 6.9% lower due to reductions in load factors, but international traffic increased 29.6%, due to the opening of the new Ryanair base in November 2007, new easyJet routes and the introduction of Lufthansa in March 2008. Charter traffic was up 3.3%, with additional ad hoc charter flights for the Heineken Cup final which took place in May.
In the 12 months to the end of May passengers were up 8.4% to 6.1m. Domestic passengers were down 8.2% to 1.3m, international passengers up 19.5% at 3.5m and charter passengers up 0.5% at 1.3m. Ryanair launched two new routes - three times weekly flights to Bergerac and Pau - during the month.
