Bournemouth Airport has been a "standing joke" for many years! In fact it has never had any facilities that could ever cope with much more than one or two 737s at a time. Nobody seems to be in a rush today to rectify that either! Compared to any other regional airports like Southampton, Exeter or Bristol for example it is a complete shambles!!! If Ryanair do decide to base even three or four 737s at BOH, add the Palmair 737 and the Thompson 737 and that's potentially 1000 passengers in and out of departures / arrivals at roughly the same time which doesn't bear thinking about and possibly 3 million passengers a year. BOH aren't planning for these kind of numbers for another 15 years!!! They don't seem to have a clue! As for better road links, airport hotels, etc, these aren't even on the agenda in the next 15 years!!! They seem more interested in shafting the "aviation museum" and displacing a few light aircraft than getting on with the real job of expanding the airport!!!
Come on Manchester Airport Group - sort this mess out!!!
