Bristol airport gets go-ahead

Bristol Airport's plan for a replacement œ14 million terminal has been given the go-ahead. The application was called in by both the Department of Transport and Department of Environment. Last week the inquiry inspector finally gave his approval and ruled the terminal could be built provided a new system of regulating night flying was introduced. A verdict on BAe's rival scheme to expand Filton airfield into Bristol's second international airport is not expected until the autumn.
