Route potential from BOH
A safe way to measure pax potential is to take a look at pax numbers elsewhere. BRU is always a graveyard from regions, too many Euro workers commuting from GB on sunday night or monday and back home on Thursday night or friday. I know a few guys like that. Not to mention Eurostar..
MAN too close for a 737 and very difficult to compete with Flybe frequency up to 7/day I believe. Would probably sustain a twice daily Dash 8, but not more... Eastern maybe with a Saab...
The no brainer for BOH is Germany, almost doesnt matter where.
The other solid routes from BOH have to be Venice, Rome, Nice, Marakech and probably Stockholm, which between should be able to keep oine or two aircraft profitably deployed at a BOH base.
Remeber the BOH catchment is generally rich and leisure based with some busines travel, so routes have to reflect that. Think decent city breaks.
AMS needs to come back, clearly demand there, could see Ezy on that.
Finally NYC and DXB - both for onward connections and local traffic - will eventually find their way onto the BOH departure board in a year or three..
