Do you have this on good authority?
I am sceptical about the success of 'regional' airline services from BOH because of the list of failures in the past and the inability to compete with the high frequency of flights at SOU. What seems to work at BOH is low cost as it appeals to a wider catchment area and is far less bothered about frequency. The higher fares of regionals reduce that potential customer base and make it unviable (for BOH).
BOH saw double daily services to Prestwick with Ryanair but the pax were all paying next to nothing. Flybe also tried double daily Glasgow flights that lasted less than a year before being consolidated at SOU.
The operators that have tried and failed with BOH-Scotland include:
Euroscot Express (1-11 and ATR-72), 55,000 pax to GLA (1997/8)
Gill Air (ATR-72/42), 29,000 pax to GLA (1999)
Ryanair (738) 120,000 pax to GLA and 80,000 pax to EDI (2003-2010)
Flybe (Q400) 33,000 pax (2015)
