Teleparty,
This thread maybe about Bournemouth, and without wishing to divert any attention from the topic in hand, I'd just like to take a few moments to point out to you how wrong you are.
In the next 24 hours, Doncaster will handle upwards of 17 inbound flights. The majority of these will be operated by Boeing 737/Airbus A319/320 aircraft capable of carrying twice the load of the Dash 8's (and well over the load of the E195s) that use Southampton. Although, Southampton is a busier airport, it is unfair and frankly a waste of server space to call Doncaster a "dead airport". Equally, Manston is a busy cargo hub and Bournemouth has it's fair share of flights. These airports have plenty going for them. Doncaster for example, has a long runway, hangar space, good location, reasonably good access, new facilities. Manston is accessible from London, the South-East and in some cases Northern France. Bournemouth can capture the markets that Southampton can't handle, such as longer distance flights.
The world does not revolve around Q400 movements. Other things stop airports being dead.
My apologies for the diversion. That is all.
Cpt. Sunshine
