Though I appreciate that Bournemouth has costs, how much does it cost for them to bring in a GA type AC? Not much. Everything is there anyway and GA's fly a tight circuit away from the bus lane.

I don't know Bournemouth's ops but when a regional has 6 scheduled & 12 chartered movements per day then getting a tenner from a GA flight will be bonus money for them. Bournemouth has quite a large quiet & relatively rundown area north of the main runway that is ideal for GA; yet they choose to charge prices that deter us.

The same is prob true for most regionals. I don't actually know if it is but I know Bournemouth quite well - I trained there! But haven't & prob never will return. Pity!
