Bristol International Airport is the main commercial airport serving the city of Bristol and the surrounding area in England, UK.

The airport was bought by Macquarie Bank and Cintra in January 2001 for £198m. Passenger numbers broke the three million mark in 2002, largely due to the arrival of the low-cost carrier Go Fly. Continued expansion by Easyjet and Ryanair led to another increase in passengers — to 3.8 million. In May 2005, Continental Airlines introduced direct flights from Bristol to New York.
