SOU & BOH are very different places. SOU is nowhere near as superior to BOH as some people make it out to be. It has better transport links & a nice bar before security. That’s about it. SOU is a major transport hub for domestic flights, business & leisure. IMO, I think it’s unlikely SOU will ever compete directly with BOH. With current infrastructure, I believe SOU could perhaps manage some additional extra international routes. Certainly not enough to warrant TUI, Ryanair or EasyJet to create a hub. I believe BOH will continue to tick over commercially not exceeding 1.2M but not dipping below 750K passengers.
All personal assumptions of course.
I was in no way assuming SOU is superior to BOH, instead only a thought that if added summer flying from SOU does happen, with easyjet as some have suggested, would this detract from BOH in any shape or form, genuine question of which I have no idea!
