Bristol Airport has completed its public transport interchange, a project that began two years ago with an investment of £60m as part of a £400m transformation programme.
The interchange features 16 bus and coach bays, live transport information screens, sheltered waiting areas, toilets, and an M&S food store.
The facility is located on the top level of a new multi-storey car park, adding approximately 2,000 parking spaces and connected by lifts and a pedestrian bridge to the terminal.
The airport reports a record number of passengers using public transport, with the A1 Flyer bus service carrying over 1m passengers in 2024.
The A1 and A3 Flyer bus service will transition to electric from 2026 as part of the airport’s commitment to net zero operations.

Helen Godwin shared, “Bristol Airport’s welcome investment in public transport has tripled the number of bus and coach bays, creating one of the West’s largest transport interchanges. This is an important step forward, though we all know much more has to be done to connect public transport to the airport. I’ll be working with the Airport and other partners on how we can make it easier to get around our region, ahead of a transport vision being published in the autumn.”
