Its a mess i agree , but at least Bournemouth is still in the running compared with a lot of other smaller regional airports at the moment

This winter is going to be grim again and even next summer is tough again

Thomas Cook loads at the peak time of July / August were full up according to local travel agents but the rest of the time not , hence the cancellation of the season early , and now the news they will not be return next summer another big loss . I would question them even putting on the Dalaman and Antalya services this year in competition with Thomson , they should have gone for Crete and Mahon and Portugal on the A320 which has always been popular and full loads for years now ( sadly missing since Palmair ) with the help of the airport marketing department ( would really like to speak to them as they seem so out of touch with route developments , all of us seem to know more than they do )

Inghams Ski this winter is a disgrace to lose this route as always been full and dont understand how this could have happened ?

Blue Islands we will just have to wait and see , on some days they are way more more expensive than Flybe and on other days well cheaper !!

Atlantic holidays have at least returned to BOH with a few Funchal flights and Newmarket have also returned again with a good programme next summer but Thomson still seem reluctant to try new destinations next summer especially as they could use there aircraft far more efficiently with more night flights to places like Crete , Spain , Portugal

Fingers crossed for some good news !
