April Stats
I am sure MARKEYD will do a more detailed and informative analysis as usual but I shall briefly summarise the basics;
Passengers are down by 15.8% on last year, which is very significant. While the timing of Easter will have had an influence is there is reason it has declined this much?
The Flybe route to Glasgow carried 3164 passengers which shows an average of 36 passengers per flight, which is just under a 50% load factor. That isn't bad at all for an only recently established route, and hopefully this will improve with time.
Also, the Flybe base starts today, does anybody have any idea how well the first few flights have sold?

The pax reduction in April at BOH is due the reduction in Ryanair flights this season over last year. Basically RYR are down one rotation a day, that's 300 pax a day for a typical RYR flight or 9000 over this month. But Flybe have added 3k+
Therein your difference. June will be the first month this year that stats will hit positive territory.

Flybe
Some of the load factors on the new BOH base routes are incredibly high. TLN is selling fast, BIQ is almost sold out on some sectors and DVL has surprised everyone by suddenly selling significantly closer to departure.

Just looking through some of the other destinations as well and they all seem to have improved considerably over the last week or two. The Domestic routes could still do with a bit of improvement but hopefully Flybe will give them enough time to further establish with the local business and leisure markets.
Does anyone have any idea of whats in store for Flybe this Winter? Are we likely to see 2 based aircraft still with a different mix of destinations or do we think BOH will mainly be a summer base for Flybe?

GLA as generally been referred to as 'year round' in the various press releases and I doubt MAN would be any different especially given teh connections available. If they want to make a proper go of the 'city' routes (AMS, DUB, CDG) then they will most likely be served during the winter. On top of those I would guess JER would continue at as lesser frequency (5 weekly or so) and we may see the odd ski route at the weekends. (CMF, SZG and GNB are all unserved from BOH).
It is promising to hear that many of the routes are selling well though!

Thanks for your responses guys.
One thing that has confused me a little bit is that these 'City' Routes (Dub, Cdg, Ams) Don't seem to offer onwards connections. I'm no expert on this matter so i may have missed something, but surely these routes could offer connections which would significantly boost numbers on the routes. From DUB there are many North American routes which would be attractive one stop connections with EI whilst CDG and AMS obviously both offer routes across the world with AF/KLM.
Is there a reason this hasn't been looked into? So far I believe the only one stop connections available are on Flybe Metal through GLA/MAN

Bournemouth handled 52 , 877 passengers down 16 % on last April figures
This seems a huge amount of over 10 , 000 passengers missing however this is solely made up of the missing Ryanair routes to CCS , RHO , CHQ , PSA , ACE , FUE and Dublin with Aer Lingus
Otherwise the amount of passengers would have remained exactly the same as last April with static growth again
The Ryanair routes that did operate all averaged 80 % loads and again Thomson pretty much a full house again !!
The Genoa P & O cruise charter went full at 187 pax with Jet 2 B 738 and the one off Antalya flight with Oska holidays went out with 162 pax with a Corrondon B 738
As already discussed the Flybe Glasgow averaged 32 passengers per flight , but interestingly they are averaging 55 pax inbound regularly and poor loads going back up ?
Flights full up to Dublin , Toulon and Jersey i believe last couple of days but could be more to do with a bank holiday
Finally Bath travel are adding another Barbados flight next winter in Feb taking the number of flights to 4 which is really good news , hopefully see the Thomson 787 back regularly in the winter !! While Transun / Hurtigruten are operating 4 charters to Tromso and Kiruna again using Enter air and Germania between Jan - Feb 16
Its all slow work in progress and June should see better news i hope all round

Cancellation this morning?
Does anyone know why this mornings GLA/BOH/GLA Was cancelled? Its definitely not related to poor loads/flight combining with SOU as i checked the loads last night and both flights were almost full which is really good to see.

More Cancellations
For the second day in a row, another GLA/BOH/GLA rotation was cancelled today (02/06/) As well as a Jersey return flight. Looking at the schedule tomorrow it seems a GLA and JER flight have already been cancelled. If anyone can help, is this solely due to loads or is there another reason? Tech aircraft? Seems very odd as most GLA flights have had good loads and the few Jersey flights i've looked at over the last few days have had very healthy loads.

Flybe W15
Excellent news for BOH, Flybe have partially released their winter schedule, and the BOH 'base' looks as if it will be continued. No new routes yet although I expect any will come with the full release.
Toulon, Biarritz and Deauville will not operate over winter which is hardly a surprise! As for the rest we have:
Amsterdam - 3 weekly
Dublin - 4 weekly
Glasgow - 12 weekly
Jersey - 6 weekly
Manchester - 12 weekly
Paris - 4 weekly
In addition, the Glasgow based aircraft appears to still be based at weekends which would suggest that some ski routes may be incoming to fill some of the gaps. This will hopefully give BOH a big boost in passengers handled and the number of flights over the winter, something it has been in dire need of for a while now.

Agree , really good news to see Flybe continuing throughout the winter period with the new routes and will finally see BOH with an increased departure board with Ryanair , Thomson and Easy Jet all up there as well
Wednesday in the winter could see up to 9 departures a day now when last year it was 1
Deauville finishes at the end of Aug now as does the extra Saturday Jersey flight
As already commented it's only a partial release and plenty of gaps on Sat/ Sun for hopefully a ski destination , CMF and SZG would be a great return !
