Bristol Airport and low-cost carrier easyJet have celebrated the handling of the airline’s 25 millionth passenger from the UK facility. The milestone passenger was greeted by easyjet’s Commercial Manager Ali Gayward as he checked-in for a flight to Toulouse on April 13.

“We’re proud of flying 25 million passengers out of Bristol Airport since our arrival in May 2001,” she said. “This highlights the benefits of easyJet’s large network from Bristol to key business destinations such as Toulouse and the conveniences for local businesses in the region.

easyJet offers flights to 43 destinations from the southwest airport with eleven based aircraft during the height of the summer.
