Bristol Airport

Bristol Airport invites expressions of interest from bus manufacturers and suppliers to collaborate in the next phase of its bus replacement program. This project aims to support growing passenger volumes, enhance operational resilience, and meet sustainability targets by upgrading and expanding the current fleet with advanced zero-emission vehicles. We seek an innovative, environmentally focused organisation to partner with us in delivering a solution that meets our operational needs and supports our commitment to zero-emission operations by 2030. All vehicles procured must align with Bristol Airport's sustainability goals, utilizing zero-emission technologies, such as battery-electric or hydrogen fuel cells. Additional infrastructure considerations, including charging and refuelling, will be integral to the program.

So Bristol Airport and ABM UK, our service provider for passengers with reduced mobility, are marking the day! #PositivelyPurple is a global movement that celebrates employees working with a hidden or visible disability or ill health while flourishing at work.
