Is this all Bournemouth is good for? the odd emergency landing and diversion?

Surely MAG didnt spend 45 million quid on a state of the art terminal, radar and runway for it to handle a once in a blue moon event.

It is completely unacceptable to me that for a catchment the size of Bournemouth's that the airport has not succeeded in holding on to its operators.

Are MAG pricing airlines out in order to get a return on investment for the terminal? Cos it aint working. May as well say airport charges are FREE for everyone - at least they will get some pax volumes in and can start to claw back some of the investment.
