Chief operating officer, Graham Gamble, confirmed airport advice suggesting travellers arrive two hours before their scheduled departure time to avoid hold-ups.
Mr Gamble said: “We know there is a huge pent-up demand for travel which has built up over the past two years during the pandemic.
"While recruiting new colleagues for the airport can take time, the Bristol Airport team and business partners will be working hard to ensure all customers have a smooth and easy journey through our terminal.
"We strongly advise all customers to arrive at check-in at least a minimum of 2 hours prior to their scheduled departure time.
“The airport has been working hard over the winter season to prepare for the spring and summer season with various ongoing development projects in the terminal which are due to be completed over the coming weeks and months.
