Since attending last year’s event in Chicago, Bristol Airport has secured services to 17 new destinations, contributing towards record passenger figures this summer. European low-cost specialist Wizz Air has also commenced operations at Bristol – the first time the airline has served the South West market.
Bristol Airport is “very confident” it will secure the return of a transatlantic connection to the United States for summer 2016, the airport’s air service development team confirmed on the sidelines of this year’s Routes Europe forum in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. Bristol Airport has joined forces with Destination Bristol to promote the West of England to airlines and airports from across the globe at the networking development forum.
Bristol Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport have this week revealed the key role the Routes Europe forum has played in recent new routes introduced to the two UK airports. Senior management from both airports will be attending this year’s event in Aberdeen with colleagues from local development agencies as they seek to further enhance connectivity.
