Bit late on reporting the Nov / Dec passenger figures for those that are interested
November saw 27 , 903 use the airport with the continuation of the Ryanair flights throughout the winter , of particular note was the new service to Krakow which saw 2827 passengers , about 177 loads which is really good for a new route
Barbados saw 2 Thomson 787 inbound flights average about 238 pax
December saw 31 , 857 use the airport
All the 5 Lapland flights went out full and all are returning this winter coming
Krakow again saw great figures of 3093 passengers averaging about 172 per flight which is obviously proving popular as is the extra Thomson flight to Lanzarote
Easy Jet started earlier this year and benefitted in 4109 passengers use the service and they have now increased the Geneva route to Daily for a month from March 23 finishing mid April now
This is the first time in many years they have increased the service with 2 flights on a Sat / Sun
Other wise no sign at all of any increase or new routes from Ryanair or in fact any cruise charters this year after last years big programme throughout the summer nothing at all !!

Positive news
Hope this positive news gets some momentum going for additional services in time.
Ryanair has publicly said that they have signed a growth deal with MAG, BOH must be part of that but nothing has been announced yet.
easyJet are rumoured to be looking at relieving two aircraft from LGW S17 programme as they switch terminals. Whether this latest GVA move is an early indication of any intent to boost BOH flights remains to be seen. It would certainly be timely given the lack of expansion from anyone else at either BOH or SOU in terms of Spanish Sun routes. The rest of the UK has really suffered from over-expansion into Spain - apart from BOH so yield potential could be good.

The brs fleet size is to be increased by 1 frame in s17, taking based frames up to 15. there is enough work for 15 brs base with a few gaps. If its one of those it wonders where easy will base the other frame.

Bournemouth grew by 11.6% in Jan'17 versus Jan'16 to 33,000 passengers according to a press release from MAG. This is pretty good news considering recent issues. Strong performance on Canaries routes.

Don't think we will be seeing this lot at Bournemouth
PowdAir replied to my message :
Hello Mark , sorry but Bournemouth will not feature in our planning as we will be flying out of Southampton and the infrastructure for Bournemouth is terrible ...
No free bus direct from train station to airport , overpriced car parking and generally a very poor terminal service
I guess Easy Jet see it a bit differently !

I'm sure easyJet would use Southampton rather that Bournemouth if the runway was wider. Unfortunately it would place restrictions on operating there so Bournemouth is the next best thing. Don't be surprised if you don't see many orange planes around Hurn in the future though...

I have to say it did seem weird for them to serve BRS, BOH and SOU given the rest of the planned destinations are quite spread out. Those are some quite damming remarks for someone to share with an outsider asking a question I have to say. Any substance to your suggestion planedrive, they seem to be quite happy with their GVA route this year!?

I find that PowdAir's response quite unprofessional unless you are paraphrasing. Granted the bus routes are poor, but I find it hard to believe that the car parking is overpriced compared to SOU. I also find it hard to believe that the terminal service is very poor.
My evidence to dispute PowdAir is to quickly compare a random fortnight in April, cheapest BOH price is £66 whereas SOU was £99.
Their loss.

no newmarket holidays flights mentioned - they use titan and small planet often
hays travel told me a few weeks ago they had not announced anything as last years were not that successful but that was their own fault not advertising to the locals well enough nor local press
i think the Cunard flights did OK
no Thomson or P&O cruises out of BOH long haul?
