I've been told that the Jet2 737 at BOH yesterday was bringing a football team down to play Southampton. No more than that, at this time anyway. Fingers crossed for the future though.
JET2 where in BOH picking up Leeds Utd who had played Southampton and lost!!!!

Hi Tower,been very busy recently since coming back from new year hols and ended up in AMS instead of NYC.Bit of a difference but its a long story,anyway LOADS,well according to me mate RHONDA,who works for TBI,JET2 loads are averaging 75 to 85 percent full and are close to taking the majority share of the route within the next few weeks.I have looked at the caa figures and by now its about 53percent JET2,47percent FLYBE so it looks like they have the majority already so RHONDA.S a bit behind by a few weeks....................................................... .........................

you could try looking here:

in a couple of months time they will have the traffic figures for Jet2's service (they are usually 3 months behind)

Frankfurt_Cowboy,
I have not heard that rumour around here.
As I am sure you know, the route has been tried in the past but, for various reasons, it did not last.
A decade or more ago Brown Air/Capital Air tried it, then more recently BACx found themselves with some J 41s available and operated LBA-BRS twice a day until they pulled out of LBA altogether. I don't know how the route did in the short time BACx operated it, but it was never really given a chance IMO.
I am sure there is a market (after all NCL-BRS runs to three easyJet 737s each day) but as always price, good scheduling and sensible marketing will be the key.
Air Southwest is starting PLH-BRS-MAN this spring. In theory there should be a market for that route. If it goes well they might be encouraged to try BRS-LBA if no-one else steps in first.

Ref domestic flights at LBA......
It would be great to see JET2 move in on domestic services Gatwick, Bournemouth, Newquay and Bristol have all had a wink and a mension on various posts.
One problem the LBA has at the moment though is the lack of domestic arrivals facilities. It only has one very small belt catering for small flights of upto around 50 passengers, however I am reasonably informed that the extension of this facility is due to commence very shortly. I can only presume that there is a good reason for this to take place.
from YORKSHIRE the plave to be is the City of Leeds.

LBA-BRS
The problem with the BRS routes in the past when BACX and GILL AIR before them operated, the fares were inbetween £150 - £250 each way, that's why it never did well, the flts never went in to double figures, if someone like JET2 offer low cost fares to BRS then I personally think it would work,
But that's my opinion.
CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!
