There is no need for planning applications as the original terminal plans and building allowed for continuous and controlled development when needed
The original terminal was built around 2010 but no expansion was ever needed until this year
The MAG group built the original terminal then promptly sold it to the Rigby group then a recession hit plus covid and the rest is history until now
Jet 2 would never have even entertained BOH unless future plans were going to be put in place
None of us are privy to what discussions are happening with the airport and airlines , it’s less than a week that this was announced
Step back a bit and see what happens
Finally some sense, thank you MARKEYD
it's not only this thread that needs a bit of a reality check those on the Southampton thread seem to believe Bournemouth will implode and it will take 2 years for planning permission etc. And no this is not a my airport is better than yours etc but there is so much uninformed posts going around on both threads. Jet 2 aren't arriving for another year!
The rigby group/ RCA aviation division have their heads screwed on, they will already have a plan in place to ensure a smooth transition for this extra capacity now and into the future. It's not like this was a surprise to them.
like you say sit back and wait. I'm sure the airports plans are already in motion. And anyway still the 2024 summer season to enjoy first
