do you know when the announcement will be? I heard Ryanair are thinking about Milan too but to Bergamo.
easyJet would be wise not to come into direct competition with Ryanair at Bournemouth. Just concentrate on routes that are not Ryanair bases, and they should be fine.
easyJet have a good list to think about: Nice, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Belfast, Berlin, Murcia, Madrid, Paris CDG without getting FR upset.

Easyjet route map
If you hover over Bournemouth, the route the Geneva isn't shown anymore.
Could they currently be editing it, about to all a whole load of new destinations from Bournemouth?
(Could also be because they added Geneva - Hamburg and Geneva - Prague today I think...)

"14.08.2006 The UK's third largest airline Thomsonfly has today announced the planned purchase of five new Boeing aircraft over as part of a series of investments and initiatives to increase the efficiency of its airline operation.
Two Boeing 737-300s will be new to the Thomsonfly fleet and the airline will also take delivery of three brand new Boeing 737-800 aircraft direct from the airline manufacturer in the first quarter of next year..."
...chances of one coming to bournemouth?

Ryanair have been so impressed with the forward bookings for Shannon, that they have brought forward the route launch from 31st Oct to 26th Oct. More than 2,000 seats have already been sold, indicating that perhaps more frequency will be needed for the busier summer months.

That's great news about Shannon so fingers crossed for more rotations in the summer 07 schedule.
EarthOrbitor your post of 31st May 'Rumours about EZY and WOW are just rumours - but watch this space for some concrete info soon'. Has this announcement occurred yet?
Anyone got any info about rumoured routes other than those all ready listed above. Maybe Easy would link BOH to Madrid, would think 4 x weekly would work well to start with.

FlyBOH
I had expected an announcement a lot earlier regarding EZY routes from BOH, but there appears to be a delay. They have not yet released all their winter flights for sale yet, and I would expect an announcement once they do release the remaining network.
There are so many potentially lucrative routes that have yet to be served from BOH so it won't be too long till the next announcement.

Air Berlin achieved an 81% average load factor on its Bournemouth - Paderborn route during July 06 (up from 61% when it operated from SOU the year before). This is thought to be encouraging the airline into considering further routes from Bournemouth - interestingly both domestic AND international.

Does this news mean a 3rd aircraft?? If I'm reading this right it says that next summer we will have 5 x weekly service to Prague plus new flights to Valencia. I can't see them dropping any of the current summer routes or even rotations as they have performed really well this summer. The twice weekly service to Pisa looks as though its still going ahead as is the Paphos and Ibiza flights with Thomsons as these are still bookable on the website. Unfortunately they haven't loaded their booking system yet, so can't check timetables. Good news though
Advertisement Deleted ANNOUNCES ROUTES FOR SUMMER 07
Bournemouth holidaymakers can benefit from additional new low cost European routes next summer, thanks to expansion by Thomsonfly. The low fares airline has announced its summer 2007 network of high frequency flights which includes two brand new direct routes - to Prague and Valencia - from Bournemouth Airport.
Winter flights to Prague are already proving popular and it looks set to be a hot destination for next summer. Flights will operate five times a week.
Likewise the new direct route to Valencia will be popular with those South Coast travellers looking to visit Spain's third largest city during the important America's Cup year.
Thomsonfly's new summer 07 routes go on sale today (Tuesday 12 September). Additional new routes for summer 07 are expected be announced within the next couple of months.

the re-intstatement of Valencia (not technically a new route) is good news - although at a lower frequency (3 per week) than in summer 2005 (5 per week) And the continuation of Prague at 5 flights per week in the summer 07 season is great news.
I really doubt Pisa will be run in 2007 - they will not be able to compete with Ryanair.
However this does not warrant an additional aircraft - the utilisation was not at maximum for the two aircraft based at BOH this summer, so the new frequencies will be squeezed into the existing fleet. It will mean more profitable operations if anything, so a good move.

Your quite right, after looking at the schedule they will be able to operate with just 2 aircraft.
Pisa should be OK as Thomson Holidays sell charters using the saturday flight to Tuscany, which will be the reason they've kept the flight going.
Its great that Valencia is back and Alicante is up to 6 flights a week with a second Alicante flight on a friday operated be a non BOH based aircraft.
Anyone know of any other new routes for 2007??
TOM hint at other routes to be announced, so hopefully Amsterdam will be back.
