Frustration
The frustration is being felt across other regional airports too. I read on other posts that Cardiff is losing a lot of services and now bmibaby are down to just one aircraft. Look at Durham and Doncaster too. Pretty soul destroying for them.
So it's not just Bournemouth. We should get some comfort in that.
If the marketing guy is who i think it is (Tony Hallwood from Leeds Bradford and previously Bristol) then we may be safe. Otherwise i don't hold much hope. He has the contacts and the energy that is required to sell a regional airport like Bournemouth. As long as MAG allows him to offer good incentives.
But i really doubt Bournemouth will see any benefits until summer 2012 at the earliest. And even then, if the recovery is satisfactory airlines will be wanting to cement their market share in the big markets.
