Bournemouth has reaplied for a New terminal building as the current plans have already been outgrown with the current passengers figures.
This would also have plans for the link road to the A338 Spur Road. Bristol has no station and that does well with transport links.
Also Digging has started in the field opposite to the Bournemouth Airport Enterance rumoured to be a 3rd Car Park for Long Term.
Air Berlin is to Start in the Future from Bournemouth

Ryanair have a limit on the number of routes they can fly from BOH so they opeted to swap Frankfurt for Girona to test the market and also to achieve higher yields. I'm sure they will bring Germany back but may not be Frankfurt.
Air Berlin to Paderborn initially but later to Berlin, maybe Munich.

No offence to anyone but why do people fly to Paderborn? What is there?

sorry, i was under the impression there was a limit imposed by the airport. could be wrong, but would make sense seeing as a perfectly good route like Frankfurt was dropped in favour of a more lucrative spanish one.

BOH,
Managed to get a good look at the original plans back in 2000. Then the terminal was to be located at on the threshold of the old northerly runway. A large tarmac area in front of the terminal would be the apron. As for the terminal design, think ‘off the shelf’ aluminium square, like Southampton and Stanstead, but with more right angles. Aircraft parked at stands with pax walking to aircraft. Any plans for extra access to the terminal was contained within secondary proposal in which the Blackwater Bridge and roundabout (near stocks farm) are key.
I viewed the application at the Christchurch council offices and if I’m correct can be viewed by anyone on request.
I understand that more recent plans may have changed, to move the same design to a different location on the airfield.
Most interesting reading was from a certain gentleman in the local area, who had written a letter with spaces for date, time, registration, estimated altitude and type of aircraft. Every time an aircraft was judged to be too noisy/low etc, the spaces were filled and the letter sent to the planning office and a copy to the airport. The record was 7 in one day, with a total of over 100! Whatever you think, said gentleman must have got a special deal on stamps!
Geez

BOH-PAD now confirmed by PAD airport in its newsletter.
3x weekly TuThSa.
I would not count on additional routes by Air Berlin from BOH. PAD-SOU is a rather odd route in AB's network. The only Euro-Shuttle routes from PAD are all to the UK: STN, MAN, BOH as the area around PAD is the heartland of British Forces Germany with quite a few UK soldiers and expats. Quite different catchment area than MUC or BER.
Any insight why they are moving in from SOU ? Did they have problems there regarding runway length ?

I had heard that Air Berlin could not fill all seats
in the aircraft because of the runway length.
Not sure if this is true but im sure you will tell me different.
Any news on starting dates yet. Could not find the newsletter and nothing on Air Berlin site yet.

From the airport grapevine :
Selling seats to the general public on the SOU - PAD route were a problem as were the flight times.
A significant percentage of pax to use this route were connected with the MOD and it is them who kept the route operative for so long.
Coupled with the fact that AB wanted better slot allocations which were not forthcoming has resulted in the withdrawl from SOU.
