## Description

Serving south-west England between London and Cardiff, Bristol Airport (IATA: BRS, ICAO: EGGD) handled around 10.8 million passengers in 2025, ranking as the UK's eighth-busiest airport. Based at Lulsgate Bottom about 13 km south-west of the city in Somerset, it is flown by easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2 across a wide European network. Cargo moves chiefly as belly freight on these passenger flights, with no scheduled all-freighter operation. For larger or specialised air freight, nearby Cardiff (CWL) and the major cargo bases at East Midlands (EMA) and London Heathrow (LHR) are the reference points. A consultation opened in 2024 is examining growth to as many as 15 million passengers, including possible long-haul routes.
