Dawn Meets Bristol Airport Chief Executive

Dawn has this morning met with Robert Sinclair, the new Chief Executive of Bristol International Airport.  BIA have recently revealed proposals for expansion, and Dawn was keen to arrange a briefing with airport bosses at the earliest opportunity.

Following the meeting, Dawn said:

“Bristol International Airport is an important part of our local and regional economy.  A number of Bristol South residents work there, and the airport’s proposals would create hundreds of new jobs.”

“However, we need to balance the benefits of airport expansion with the genuine concerns that many residents have over the potential environmental consequences of expansion.  The planning application will be formally considered by North Somerset Council, but I am determined that residents in Bristol South should have their say.  Should you have any comments about the airport’s plans, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.”
