Continental Business First showers at Bristol International
Bristol International Airport has introduced refreshing new facilities
for passengers flying Business First with Continental Airlines.
Travellers arriving on the transatlantic service from Newark now have
access to on-site executive showers, enabling them to freshen up
following the overnight flight from the US.
The showers
(including a facility for passengers with reduced mobility) are
conveniently located in the terminal building and stocked with luxury
Temple Spa products. Passengers can pre-arrange use of the showers at
the time of booking or during the flight to Bristol. Previously such
facilities were only available off-site in partnership with a local
hotel.
As well as access to the new showers, Continental’s
Business First passengers also receive free car parking in reserved
spaces close the terminal, fast-track security and access to the
business lounge at Bristol International.
Bristol
International’s executive showers are exclusively available to
Continental passengers, but could be rolled out to those travelling
with other airlines in the coming months subject to customer demand.
GLOBAL DEAL ON AVIATION EMISSIONS MUST BE ACHIEVED
Airports including Bristol Airport have issued a stark warning that a global deal on aviation emissions (to be discussed at Copenhagen in December) must be achieved. Bristol Airport and Humberside Airport are members of the Airport Operators Association (AOA) and a report commissioned for the Association by leading economists OXERA will be launched in the City tomorrow (3 Nov) by a panel of aviation and business leaders including Peel Airports Group Deputy Chief Executive, Neil Pakey. They will say that UK-only alternative measures would deal a severe blow to passengers and the wider economy.
The latest Department for Transport forecasts show that by 2030, there will be passenger demand in the UK for 434 million flights, an increase of about 3% a year. But if growth in flying were restricted to just 1.5% a year, a measure touted as a UK-only alternative to an international emissions cap, the report estimates that average return air fares could see a 40% rise from £258 to £360, by 2020.
Modelling work in the report shows that raising Air Passenger Duty (APD) is an equally bad alternative to an international cap. Bringing in a 5% a year “APD Escalator” would see a further £30 added to average return air fares by 2020. This would come on top of APD rises just brought in by the government and the further increases it has fixed for next November. Yesterday’s rises see APD on flights to Europe up from £10 to £12, and to the States from £40 to £60.
In addition, under such draconian alternatives to an international deal, aviation’s ability to boost the wider economy could be dealt a severe blow. By 2030 the UK would be up to £30bn a year worse off, lose out on £15bn in contributions to the Exchequer, and support 700,000 fewer jobs.
The study found that the aviation sector represents 1.5% of the UK economy, contributing £18.4bn towards UK GDP and providing jobs for 234,000 people. Aviation’s capacity to create wealth has grown by 8.3%, in real terms, since 1995.
Commenting on the need to address environmental impact, Deputy CEO of Peel Airports Group, Neil Pakey, said: “While the tax burden on aviation more than covers its environmental costs, airports need to continue to work hard with other parts of the aviation sector to realise a global deal on carbon emissions. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme, which aviation enters in 2012, is a hugely significant first step”.
Commenting on the findings, AOA Chairman, Ed Anderson said: “Aviation should be part of a low carbon future, and a global sectoral approach is needed at Copenhagen. Aviation must grow sustainably, within environmental limits, and can be used to improve the performance of the wider economy by stimulating connectivity, trade and investment which in turn creates wealth and, jobs”.
