Bus routes in Bristol, England From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Airport Flyer is a pair of bus routes that serve Bristol Airport. The routes are operated by First West of England.[1]
In 2012, the route began operating 24 hours per day.[2]
The A2 service was withdrawn in January 2018, after having its frequency halved from hourly to two-hourly in January.[3]
