In March 1997 the airport's name was changed to Bristol International Airport. (Bristol Lulsgate Airport.)

Passenger numbers passed through three million in 2002, largely due to the arrival of the low-cost carrier Go Fly. Continued expansion by easyJet led to another increase in passengers — to 3.8 million. In May 2005, Continental Airlines introduced a direct flight from Bristol to Newark with Boeing 757 aircraft.

The terminal building does not have jetways, so all aircraft park on the apron and passengers either walk out to their flights, or are carried by bus.

The airport is signposted from the M5, from junction 22 when approaching from the south and junction 18 when approaching from the north. Neither gives quick access to the airport, a fact which is recognised by the Greater Bristol Strategic Transport Study. A number of solutions have been proposed, including a new link road between the A38 and the A371 but nothing has been approved.
