re: Jet2 - Ok guys, you proved me wrong. Apologies!
On easyjet subject, I already knew they flew here I saw them many a time last year!
And on the BASCO thing, I have no inside information but I have been told that BASCO will cease as of 22nd December and at this current time they are trying to finish off 9G-LCA and EC-CFI before they pack it in.

A great pity to see a big engineering company pulling out of Bournemouth.

The airport has ideal hangars for aircraft overhaul and can deal with any sixe of aircraft.

The airport has good aids to get aircraft in at any time for engineering.

Could there be more to this than meets the eye, is there something in the pipe line like redeveloping the north side for a number of non aviation companies??

With the CL44 being one of the last aircraft to be worked on by B.A.S.C.O. is there any update on when the aircraft will be ready and will leave for greener pastures?

RE Basco
The Guppy and Swedish 737 are both currently in BASCOs hangar.

Rumour is that ATC Lasham who was eyeing up for the hangars are not interested.

Also heard that Manchester Airport group has granted Bournemouth a large sum of money for expansion for Bournemouth. This is great news if true and maybe a announcement willl be when easy jet anounce there flights next month.

Good news for Bournemouth....Roll on 2007.....

Great news for BOH if MAN agree to all the money for expansion.
Are easyJet definitely starting more flights from BOH then?

Manston Airport

Any ideas whats going to happen to the BASCO hanger when they leave is there any plans for someone to move in or Jet2 to take over it?

Sounds like bad news and just when we heard Bournemouth was getting a large sum of money.

lets hope new buyer starts the take over with instantly building the new terminal.

PS
Wy have they recarpeted the terminal with horrible wooden style lino, Is ir so Awful looking you go through departures quiker....

NATS are rumoured to be closing their entire site in a couple of years, so that might provide an area to expand the terminal facilities?

Had heared it would be turned into a Hotel, sounds pretty odd though. Would have thought the airport would take over it and build a brand new state of the art Terminal. Ideal place, isn't it?

POTENTIAL SALE: Thats a VERY good thing, honestly. MAG only held BOH back. New investor more likely to appreciate BOH for its locality etc

NATS: Better as a refurbished hotel, too expensive to tear down. Plus that awful Jet2 hangar is listed so cant be taken down... this means NATS land unlikely to be used as terminal area

BASCO: Real shame they are off, but hopefully will be replaced real soon - dont loose heart people

LAMINATE FLOORING: Blimey things really have gone down a notch in 'interior design' department

Only chitchat from the staff today,

Jet2 Buildings, - I was told that those grey building are almost empty and that they where beeing removed this month making room for the new terminal land.

Shell was refusing to move from there offices and therefore there buildings are unable to be knocked down and turned into more ramp space.

Terminal alterations where planned as in expanding the terminal out into the drop of zone and car park. These changes are maybe being done for the new potential owners.

FLYboh

If BOH stick to the masterplan, then the exisiting terminal is being built around and extended over the short term carpark. Full details of the plans are on the website. Check it out, it will more than treble the terminal building when complete. Plans are to start the building works next year (2007) and I believe that it will begin with a new purpose built arrivals with the rest to follow.

Easyjet's UK Regional bases are to be on sale late Monday Nov 27th. Any chance of Bournemouth routes?

Manston Airport

Are BASCO moving to a new airport or are going for good? I think the Nats building will be good for new Terminal and whats happing to the Ex-Channel Express hanger?

Manston Airport

BASCO: They're closing down completly.

Channel Express: I believe they're keeping them for the time being. I did see advertised jobs for Bournemouth still.

Nats: As I believe I've said before - I've heared rumours of it converting to a hotel.

BOH is closed at the moment due to a security incident, I see.

Magicjimmy

Just seen on Bournemouth Airport website:

"Bournemouth Airport is, at this time, closed due to a security incident. NO inbound or outbond flights are being accepted. Every effort is being made to resolve this incident as quickly as possible."
