The bottom line is simple! Bournemouth needs more based aircraft and a level playing field with Ryanair! Ryanair, who have been in the press for all the wrong reasons this week, are effectively "killing" BOH right under the noses of MAG who have allowed them to get away with it! Ask the Prestwick Airport management. Other airlines "CANNOT" take on Ryanair and win. They killed Palmair who simply couldn't compete. Bmth needs an airline that serves its catchment area and offers local people the right mix of destinations, not a Ryanair who only exist because they have "slave labour" and hold many of airports to ransom! Nobody else stands a chance while they are around. I ask you one question. How much have Ryanair expanded in Bmth since they arrived in the mid 1995s? Over 20 years and just one based aircraft out of 400 they operate! Back then they had less than 20! Bmth desperately needs a locally based airline offering JER, GCI, a feeder to AMS, CDG, MAN and DUB and many more holiday flight options? Not Ryanair who have unfairly but legally snubbed out any meaningful competition. What the airport needs is somebody flying Embraer 190 type aircraft Flybe / BA Cityflyer / Eastern Airways or EasyJet A319s to the above destinations. Two based aircraft would do it but somebody has got to do it! Sadly the recent Flybe debacle was the final nail in the coffin I fear. Let's hope that MAG finally wake up to this Ryanair "bullying"! And why shouldn't BOH compete with SOU? There must surely be enough people living in the South to support both - not everybody wants to be forced to fly from a "bursting at the seems" London Airport!
