I was under the impression that the Bournemouth fly cruise market had been doing very well and was always rather under developed from Bournemouth .

The loads this year as in previous has always been very good and this year saw 8 flights to Barbados with 3 flights in Feb alone

Looks like next winter just 3 flights are operating !!
12 Nov , 3 Feb , 2 Mar to Barbados

Would have been good to see Thomson try some stand alone flights to the Caribbean next year , even Exeter has managed it .

Not sure what the new marketing director has been up to but really needs to start pushing some more destinations to make up for the demise of Palmair . The airport is desperate for some return of the old routes and next winter is certainly not looking promising . Even the travel agents are saying so many people asking for these but unable to deliver and sending them up the road to Gatwick , Bristol and Exeter
