O the arrogance of you Southampton people!! Bournemouth is a nothing town??
Dear o dear. Like our football club which at present is higher than yours in the league!!
Bournemouth/Poole/Christchurch is the largest non industrial conurbation in the UK. Its combined population is larger than Southampton. There are many important companies with large bases here. JP Morgan European HQ, Sunseeker, Liverpool and Victoria, Hamworthy Combustion, Ryvita, RNLI, RIAS, FR Aviation, Lush cosmetics and as has been stated before the largest number of language schools outside London.
The potential is there and surely MAG one day will be able to work long term with an airline to develop routes which will provide both good load factors and good yields.
Whether this is FR/EZY/BE/SZ/LS or someone else...only time will tell.
