Bournemouth handled over 31,000 pax in Nov'15 up 54% on previous year.

Flybe loads all looked roughly 50% and above.

Ryanair have confirmed 34 flights per week for S16 which I believe is no different to this summer?

So prediction for 2016 - if no new airlines announce anything - will be around 550,000 passengers in total which is a big reduction on this year.

SOU has seen a flurry of new airlines and routes recently which shows they were spooked by Flybe's entry in BOH with a small base. I guess they have addressed this now with Flybe consolidating at SOU.

All in all - this will be the worst year at BOH since 2004.

Surely some sort of shake up is required at senior management or at MAG in terms of how they approach airlines SUSTAINABLY for building of new routes.
