Passengers were up by 12.1% at Bristol Airport last month, to 503,449, with an increase in budget and charter capacity boosted by the early Easter.
Domestic passengers were down 11.3% (to 99,000), still seeing the affect of the end of BA Connect services last year, but international passengers increased by 24.4% (to 325,000), after the opening of the new Ryanair base at the airport in November 2007. Charter passengers were up 3.9% (to 79,000), due to additional capacity over the Easter period.
