A six-month trial of two bus services from rural locations in North Somerset to Bristol Airport are set to be launched next year.
One shuttle will run from Nailsea and Backwell railway station while the other will start in Clevedon and stop at Yatton railway station and Cleeve.
Trials for both services may start as early as 2020.
Around 10 million passengers a year currently use the airport and North Somerset Council is considering a planning application for an expansion which could see up to 12 million travellers using the airport by mid-2020s.
James Shearman, head of sustainability at Bristol Airport, said: “We continue to listen to feedback from our local communities on the need to improve public transport services to the Airport and since 2011 we’ve invested £8 million in transport improvements.
"The new services will provide an innovative, flexible and competitively priced service, with discounts available for staff working at the Airport.
“We are committed to exploring new public transport alternatives where these are economically viable.
“The Bristol Flyer started life as a minibus when the service commenced and has grown in popularity to the extent that in 2018 over 800,000 journeys were made. We’re hopeful the trials will be as successful.”
The Nailsea and Clevedon on demand public transport service forms part of a multi-million pound package to help cut Co2 emissions created by an extra two million people using the airport.
Under proposals, the bosses at the airport also plan to roll out a number of highway improvements, support new bus and coach services and infrastructure, build a new bus lane on the A38 and invest in electric vehicle charging.
