Latest edition of the airport paper was in the terminal today and more IT holidays are:
Sardinia with Just Sardinia. Using FR flights to Gerona and then onward to Sardinia with FR.
Costa Brava, weekly with Getaways from April to September. Just says weekly flights so I'm not sure if they're using FR's flights or chartering EAC. Anyone know?

The Jet2 rumour is doing the rounds again. They are planning to add two new destinations to BOH within the first year. A while back I had heard daily to Edinburgh and Prague, but latest gossip is that they're looking at adding a couple of routes that Thomsonfly haven't started up yet into Spain.
I'm guessing at Alicante or Murcia. Surely they would leave Barcelona to Ryanairs daily Girona. Would be interesting to see the affect on pax numbers to Girona if this service was launched.
Anyone heard any more????

If Jet2 launched Bournemouth to Barcelona, Ryanair would simply offer all seats free until people get the message that Ryanair fares are the cheapest. Jet2 then would be painfully shown that to mess with Ryanair is a mistake.
Jet2 Edinburgh and Prague... thats what I heard just this morning... But wouldnt rule out other Spanish routes that Thomsonfly haven't got as they are the most profitable and successful pre-bookers.

Nakata,
"If Jet2 launched Bournemouth to Barcelona, Ryanair would simply offer all seats free until people get the message that Ryanair fares are the cheapest. Jet2 then would be painfully shown that to mess with Ryanair is a mistake."
Yet LPL has room for FR to do REU and GRO, with EZY doing BCN (x2 iirc). I would be more interested to see if Jet2 could make the slots work at BCN, as this has been commented on quite a few times.
For a weekend city break, people will always prefer to use the airport which can get them where they want to go within 60 minutes of landing (taxiing permitting), whereas REU and GRO serve plenty of other nearby resorts in their own right.
I very much doubt that ticket prices would be the most important issue if J2 were to launch this route.

nice that you think of the human race as decent people, but unfortunately as statistics can back up, people don't follow brand or convenience, they follow price. Especially from a regional airport.
Whilst I agree GRO picks up enough demand in its own right I doubt GRO without Barcelona on its doorsetp would work - from Bournemouth anyway.
Look at the CAA stats: BOH-GRO carries more pax per month than does BRS-BCN.

A passenger flew in today in a private plane and wanted a hot meal before onward travel. As the restaurant is now airside no food (only sandwich Bar) was available.
They went home with a bad experiance of Bournemouth Airport (and hungry).
At least the cash point was still accessible

What good is the cash point if one cannot spend the money on food... ? 
Wondering if we will ever see a route to Germany again from BOH.
The idea to operate HLX flights into Thomsonfly bases seems to be quite a desaster as the CGN-CVT route is producing rather unhealthy loads - so I would rule out flights from BOH to CGN by HLX. However, Air Belrin seems to be doing quite OK from SOU to PAD, so there might be a market for flights from the south coast to Germany provided the German gateway is somewhere near BFG camps.

Confused by the point Eurostar made. If the guy flew in, one imagines it is reasonable to assume that he was airside at that time? So did he come in on the west side of the Airfield and drive round to the terminal?

I work from Coventry airport and the passenger figures for the HLX route CGN-CVT-CGN are very good, majority of flights having approximatley 120 pax onboard.

VB,
There was speculation at the time about whether this route was a convenient way to show that there are other airlines at CVT beyond TOM, and even that it might be a PR ruse.
I'll have to admit that I didn't think it would work without at least a daily rotation.
It seems to be continuing for the time being, and if the loads are good now at €2 per sector, then yields may well go up later in the year.
Mods, can we split this to a CVT happenings thread? There must be enough to talk about now, both "on and off piste" as such!
I think splitting might cause a bit of confusion and interrupt the flow. However, if anyone feels there is sufficient interest, they can start a CVT thread.
cheers H.

As long as the private passengers have been subjected to the same security procedures as those for the scheduled service, there is no reason why not. At a number of airports I've used, private pilots and passengers often use the Duty/Tax Free shop at that airport, mixing with 'normal' passengers, prior to being taken to their aircraft.
Hmmmm...CAA stats for January show 1,964 passengers carried on CVT-CGN for the month. Working on the basis that there were 13 rotations in the month x 148 seats x 2 legs = 3,848 seats. That equates to a 51% loadfactor or 76 per sector. Whilst it's not awful, it isn't a resounding endorsement of the HLX strategy of serving Thomsonfly bases. I wouldn't hold my breath in Bournemouth.

When Ryanair operated from Bournemouth to Hahn they carried 94,548 pax in the first year of operation (March 02 - February 03). Monthly figures included 9,914 in July 02, 10,375 in August 02 and 9842 in August 03. From this, there would appear to be a reasonable demand for flights to Germany from BOH. Ryanair dropped the route so that they could start Girona instead which presumably has higher yields on similar passenger numbers (92,661 January 04 to December 04). I am surprised Ryanair haven't restarted Hahn flights as it did seem popular particularly, I gather, among students using the language schools in Bournemouth. Perhaps HLX should get in quick!

Le Tirer,
The Hahn route was always operated by a 189 seat 800, where as the Girona route was operated by a 130 seat 200 from end of April 04 through to 07/09/04. So the GRO route has performed much better than the Hahn ever did. Also Hahn was always heavily discounted from BOH.
