Bristol Airport bus increases frequency as Weston one starts earlier

The frequency of buses to Bristol Airport has increased. The service will now operate every 12 minutes between the airport and the city.

The changes came into place yesterday (October 9). The Bristol Airport Flyer provides transport links to the airport 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the route travelling through Bedminster, serving Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Bus & Coach Station.

In a statement, the airport said that on the same day the A3 Weston Flyer service will extend its operating hours and will commence earlier each day to accommodate customer and colleagues travel to and from the Airport. The Weston Flyer links Bristol Airport to Weston-super-Mare railway station, Worle, Congresbury and Cleeve.

The airport said: "The changes to both services reflect the strong increase in customer demand being experienced. Enhancements to the timetables will also provide a boost for employment opportunities for residents and ensure that all shift patterns are served by public transport to and from Bristol and Weston-Super-Mare with employees enjoying free travel on both services."

Liz Macnaughton, commercial manager of ground transportation at the airport, said: “We are delighted to see the improvements to the timetables for both public transport services to and from Bristol Airport.

"These changes reflect the increase in demand for the Airport Flyer services and further demonstrate our commitment to providing alternatives to the car when travelling to and from Bristol Airport.”
