Never understood it. Buzz had done all the donkey work. Lots of retired snow birds wanting to jet off for the winter. Friends in the SW say it is easier to get to than LGW; and cheaper once you are there. Must be the same for RYR. With Buzz having disappeared; and don't know about Thomson & others, but if BOH is under utilised why shut down for the lucrative winter months. Keeps the company name alive ready for the summer. If other operators run during the winter they will keep pax loyalty in the summer. Does seem odd there is no base all year round in the lucrative retired rich south.
