Analysis

Located at the gateway to the English West Country, Bristol Airport is the most significant of a clutch of local competing airports within a 100 mile (160 km) radius, including Exeter, Bournemouth and Southampton, each of them under different ownership. Only Birmingham Airport, about 100 miles distant, is bigger and, like Bristol, has a well defined catchment area. London Heathrow is located at a similar distance from Birmingham but is exempted from these comparisons.

Bristol Airport has grown to be the eighth largest in the UK, and construction is under way to permit it to handle 10 million ppa comfortably. The city and region it serves are prospering, but there is an uncomfortably high exposure to the LCCs and their whims.
