Bristol Airport has announced that it is preparing for its busiest ever summer holiday getaway.

The South West transport hub said it expects more than 1.5 million passengers to travel through the airport through the holiday period, July 22 to September 3.

It is expected that up to 37,000 customers could fly on some days, with the August Bank Holiday primed to be the busiest over the summer season.

Sun destinations and city trips are due to be the most popular choices during the holiday period. The top sun destinations for customers will include Palma de Mallorca, Alicante and Málaga. The top city trips include Dublin, Edinburgh and Amsterdam.

This year has been a hugely busy first six months for Bristol Airport with the airport welcoming Aegean Airlines, Sun Express and Corendon Airlines. In March, the airport saw the return of the Bristol to Cork service with Aer Lingus.

The airport will also be welcoming athletes who will be competing in the UIPM Pentathlon and Laser Run World Championships 2023 in Bath during August.

Earlier this year a legal challenge to Bristol Airport’s controversial plans to expand its maximum capacity from 10 million to 12 million passengers a year was dismissed by a High Court judge last week.
