and for airports like BOH, the future really is only Ryanair

Channel Island Operations
Nakata77
In reply to your increase some of it is due to change by the post office and the paper distrubutors.
The mail to the Channel Islands up until two years or so came from Gatwick as well as the papers.
This now comes from Bournemouth.
The reason for Aurigny putting an ATR72 on the mail run is due to a request by the GPO for an increase in capicity.
To clear up some points
Channel Express operated from Bournemouth to Jersey and Guernsey with the FK27 on the paper contract which Emerald now operate. The Channel Express FK27 returned to Bournemouth to operate the freight to Jersey which Air Contractors now operate.
So the only increase of freight to the Jersey at the moment is by Aurigny moving down from Gatwick and now putting on a bigger aircraft from the Shorts.

someone mentioned flight times
the point is not what we can do to the passenger volumes on competing services, but on what we can (and will) do to the passenger yield on those routes that compete with us - forcing the overpriced carrier to bow down

Do you not want to give any other airline a chance other than Ryanair? I believe that passengers should be given a choice of airlines to fly with, which also have better service and aircraft cabins than Ryanair does. Bournemouth airport doesn't want to be a one-airline airport, and I sure hope we never are!

if we get our way all airports would be one-airline dependant - on us.
seriously though i doubt that would ever happen at BOH. there are lots of opportunities and enough business for a few carriers there (on services we would never consider)
Ryanair predicts BOH could be handling 3 or 4 million in a few years time - majority of which will be flying with us

Hope it happens
If all these LCC routes come off for Bournemouth it would be like turning the clock back 40 years or so for the numbers expected to depart and arrive.
Great for the Airport and all its worker lets hope it all work out.

Today we spent most of the day without telephones (except mobiles) or internet facilities after some smart ar$e chopped through our ISDN line. It was like a return to the dark ages - very frustrating !
Heated calls to BOH authorities, but as yet no sign of a resolution !
Is this part of BOH Airport's plan to get Jet2 out berfore the end of the year ?

I'd blame the boys at MADL rather than the Airport, the Airport makes you go up and down digging holes is nothing to do with them (could be BT I suppose they are worse than useless as well!

10 YEARS OF RYANAIR AT BOURNEMOUTH
Ten years ago today (9th May) the champagne corks were popping as Ryanair launched its first route from Bournemouth Airport.
But a glance at the press release that was issued to mark the event shows just how much the airline industry has changed. The launch press release stated: “The airline will extend its low fares to the new route, and has pledged to make over 70% of all seats available at fares of £59 and £69 return.”
An advertisement in yesterday’s Daily Echo has the same flights priced at just £12.99 – less than 25% of the original price!
Following the successful launch of its daily service to Dublin in May 1996, Ryanair added a daily service to Frankfurt-Hahn in February 2002. In February 2003 the company introduced a daily service to Glasgow-Prestwick and later that year (October 2003) replaced the Frankfurt-Hahn route with a daily flight to Girona. Their fourth destination from Bournemouth starts early next month when they will be flying to Pisa three times a week.
Since its launch in May 1996, more than 1.5 million passengers have travelled on Ryanair’s Bournemouth routes.
Turning back to the launch press release it’s also clear just how much the airline has grown. In May 1996 Ryanair was operating a fleet of 11 Boeing 737 aircraft (130 seats) on a network of 13 scheduled routes between the UK and Ireland, together with a route between Glasgow and Stansted.
Today Ryanair operates 334 low fare routes across 23 countries. The airline has 15 European bases and operates an entire fleet of 107 new Boeing 737-800 aircraft (189 seats) with firm orders for a further 127 new aircraft, which will be delivered over the next 6 years. Ryanair currently employs a team of 2,700 people and will carry in excess of 40 million scheduled passengers this year.
Commenting on Ryanair’s 10th anniversary at Bournemouth Airport, Managing Director Peter Duffy said:
"We are delighted to have built up such a good working relationship with Ryanair over the past ten years, and everyone working at the airport is to be congratulated for making their operation at Bournemouth such a success. Low cost carriers, such as Ryanair, have dramatically changed the face of the aviation industry all of which is great news for those living in our region who now have easy access to a comprehensive selection of flights from their local airport."

WOWBOY,
But what is the BOH catchment area? It doesnt really fit in with the FR model. Underused, yes, but not a secondary airport for a major city. And it is the only airport in the world I think with geraniums in the security area!
By the way, I can drive from PIK to centre of Glasgow in 30 mins staying within speed limit. EDI much longer.

It's been posted on another forum that this months Airliner World reports that the Easyjet rumours are true and that if a deal is struck 2 A319's will be based at BOH from April 07.

Easyjet
The artical in Airlinerworld clearly states that easyjet is only Studying Bournemouth as a Possible base and is among up to 30 other airports which they are currently in discussion with.
In the artical, possible routes that may be launched are; Edinburgh, Geneva, Nice & Paris.

If an airline is at least showing an interest this must be a good thing if Easy Jet might base two buses lets hope it comes off.

air contractors, ATR-72, Titan Airways B733, Aurigny ATR-72 operate cargo services, and some extra ad-hoc airlines are called in when problems arise with the existing carriers such as Emerald
