Tony Hallwood, aviation development director at Bristol Airport, said: 'As well as providing a route to Germany's financial capital, the flights will offer onward connections to central and eastern Europe, the Middle East, Far East, Australasia, USA, Canada and South America. This key new service will further reduce the need for road and rail journeys to Heathrow.'
