Bristol fashion for £8m airport improvement

Wednesday, 28 May, 2010 0

 

 
 
An £8 million new walkway has been officially opened at Bristol airport following a year’s work on the project.
 
The 450m walkway connects the terminal building to eight new pre-boarding zones, enabling passengers to walk to and from aircraft instead of being driven by bus.
 
It enables airlines to better implement priority boarding and reduce emissions from airport vehicles.
 
More than 81,000 passengers are expected to travel through the airport terminal over this bank holiday weekend, almost ten per cent up on last year’s figures.
 
Popular destinations include Egypt, Turkey and Tunisia.
 
The airport’s CEO Robert Sinclair said: “The walkway will make the airport journey more convenient, easy and enjoyable, removing the hassle of bus transfers for the majority of passengers.”
