"What BOH needs now is some robust and significant additional Ryanair services "
That would be nice but if you can look at the financial bottom line in the companies reports you will see that what bournemouth needs now is a miracle or it won't be there as a business much past next spring.
Forget carrying on with a few thomson / Ryanair flights etc - it's not financially viable .
Staff have already been made redundant to try and plug the hole left by the post office pulling out- I'd be surprised if there is any more leeway.
Fingers crossed for some good news and quickly!
Drop off charge- no one likes it but it's a major income stream- no business would introduce it unless they absolutely had to.
Someone on the echo website said they resented paying £2.50 drop off when their ticket to fly was only £80.
That says it all- you are paying to drop off BECAUSE your flights are so cheap- how else do you think the airport can make some money?
