The man, who was in his 30s, was working with a private contractor, dismantling an old hangar at the site.

He died at the scene of the accident, which happened on Saturday morning. The police and the Health and Safety Executive have begun an investigation.

The airport's head of operations Paul Davies said they were cooperating fully with the enquiries.

"Bristol International extends its sympathies toward the contractor's family at this tragic time," he said.
