Our future plans
We're planning for the future to ensure we meet the demand for air travel to and from the region we serve.
We're working on future plans for development to 2040
This will enable us to meet future demand for air travel, provide connections to more destinations and create more jobs for local people.
Help shape our proposals
We’d like your help shaping our proposals for the Airport’s future development, so it can serve up to 15 million passengers per year.
Your feedback will inform our final Master Plan, and any planning application we make to North Somerset Council for approval to develop the Airport’s capacity.
The consultation closes at 11.59pm on Friday 31 January 2025.

Our 12 mppa Planning Application
A planning application was submitted to North Somerset Council in December 2018 to expand capacity from the current limit of 10 million passengers per annum (mppa) to 12 mppa. This included terminal expansion, improved public transport options, road infrastructure, and enhanced environmental projects.
Why do we need a Master Plan?
Government encourages airports to produce Master Plans to enable future development to be given due consideration in local planning processes.
We've previously published two consultation documents on Bristol Airport's Master Plan.
