Have BASCO got their FAA repair station cert back yet?

Exclamation BASCO

Hi Mary_hinge,

Could you please give me some more information on this? I had wondered why we have zero planes in for BASCO at the moment.

Thanks,
Jimmi / BOHEuropean

Build car parks and IKEA? You've obviously never driven down the winding, single-track access road that leads to the 'ugly hangars'. There's no way that's getting used for any alternative use until the relief road comes along... in 2014?...

shamrock7seal,
how much do think the "ugly hangars" bring in cash wise to the local economy? Go on, have a stab at the figures and advise what companies you have included!

Question BASCO

Apperently BASCO has just applied for 767 approval, and so this sounds as though the company is not closing down.

I'm not an insider and I'm only passing on what I've heared, so please don't shoot the messenger. Suppose we will have to wait and see what is happening here.

Thomsonfly have announced a new weekly service to Grenoble this winter as well as loading Amsterdam into their system.

It will be interesting to see if the 9 or 10 flights a day from SOU this winter to AMS will cause any problems down the road here at BOH.

Thomsonfly are slightly cheaper than Flybe and of course you don't have to pay for any hold luggage, yet!

STOP PRESS: have just received news that Amsterdam will be served by Flybe from both Southampton and Exeter. (SOU now have 3 airlines on this sector). This means BOH is surrounded by airlines providing superior frequency on this service. Thomsonfly hardly operate a great schedule. Lets hope 3 airlines on SOU-AMS will encouorage KLM to make a decision on whether to go into BOH or SOU.

easyJet have re-loaded Bournemouth onto their route map. Hopefully this means something! Geneva has not yet been released for bookings... are they holding off for a bigger announcement? easyJet diverted into BOH the other day from Gatwick. Good to see the A319 here again - in summer.

Well finally we get to read the Masterplan. Basically BOH expects to hadle 4.5M pax by 2030 ( 1.8M by 2009/10 ). The terminal will be rebuilt in stages with modern facades used. Plan is to start next year with a new arrivals. Terminal will eventually be 3 x the current size. Car parks to double capacity and a possible new road link directly off the dual carriage way A338.

There are 2 flights on saturdays showing in the booking system. 2nd flight is early evening. Good to see that Easyjet have added a rotation, hopefully they will choose BOH as their new base. Fingers crossed.

The airport masterplan shows that BOH should be handling 1.8m pax by 2009/10, that equates to about 10 extra 737/A319 flights a day so there should be something happening soon. But who will it be??

easyJet should be announcing their new base plans for Bournemouth later this year. Start proposed in spring 2007 to Nice, Edinburgh, Belfast, Berlin, Murcia and Paris. Geneva will continue through summer 2007 operated by Swiss subsidiary.
