Is #AirportExpansion good for the economy?
#BristolAirport figures show <10% of passengers are non-UK
SO
Over 90% of flights are taking money OUT of our economy & spending it abroad
Millions of passengers spending £££ abroad
vs
a few hundred extra jobs & profits for foreign shareholders?
NOT good

This is the case AGAINST UK airport expansion:
2023 #ONS statistics show £42 BILLION DEFICIT for UK tourism
SO...
UK tourists spent £42bn MORE abroad than foreign tourists spent in UK
2024 #ONS stats show deficit has now risen to £46billion
How can more holiday flights be good for our economy?

@BristolAirport are keeping to #nightflight quota of 4,000 by using #dispensations
For Q1 + Q2
Scheduled nightflights = 1487
ACTUAL nightflights = 1895
= 408 more nightflights than scheduled
But 321 dispensations allowed = 80% of extra unscheduled flights 🤬

IS it true tho?
Maybe she should look at our evidence rather than simply swallowing what the airport says?

Instead of 'sustainable' it should simply be 'alternative'
#SAF isn't sustainable
#SAF produces just as many tail-pipe emissions
#SAF would need up to 70% of our agricultural land
or 5x our current renewable energy levels

#BristolAirport want to increase #nightflights by from 4,000 to 5,000

The 2024 #BristolAirport employment plan says:
'expanding capacity is projected to add 800 jobs at Bristol
Airport and up to a further 5,000 jobs regionally'
SO Bristol Airport will create 5 apprenticeships per yr
Another 25 jobs per yr supplied through construction company contracts
The rest?

#BristolAirport say that airport expansion will be good for the local economy
We've looked at the figures and that's just not true
FIVE UK citizens fly out of Bristol Airport (spending their money abroad) for every ONE overseas tourist who flies into #Bristol
