Bristol airport expecting 1.2m summer passengers
21 Jul 2010
Bristol airport has revealed that it is expecting a busy summer this year, with more than 1.2m travellers expected to pass through the terminal in July and August.
Destinations such as Mexico, Florida, Turkey, Greece and Egypt remain popular among holidaymakers setting off from south-west England.
Flights to Skiathos in Greece and Pula in Croatia are among the new services on offer at Bristol this summer.
In order to ensure the airport runs smoothly during the busy season, 18 new staff members have been added to the customer service and car park teams and 16 volunteers have been recruited to welcome incoming visitors from overseas.
Shaun Browne, aviation director at Bristol, said: 'The summer holidays will be very busy, but plans are in place to make the airport experience for passengers as convenient and comfortable as possible.
'However, check-in, security search and boarding can take time - particularly for families and large groups. By arriving at least two hours ahead of their scheduled departure time, passengers can help us keep queues to a minimum.'
It was announced this week that the airport is among the nominees at the TTG Travel Awards 2010.
