Yep, Ryanair website say that the flights go on sale tomorrow, 20th October. No news yet on the frequency of the route but the base opens in March 2012, so hopefully the route starts then. Good news at last.

Twice a week, Monday and Friday. A very very small step in the right direction..

Ryanair BOH - WRO

Good evening,

Adfly is absolutely right: BOH - Wroclaw was operated by Ryanair 3x weekly from April 2008 and then 2x weekly from Jan 2009 until it was dropped at the end of March 2009.

In that time, nearly 36,000 passengers flew on 270 flights, giving an average flown load factor of 70%, which was roughly mid-table for the Ryanair Bournemouth routes operated at the time (ahead of Dublin, but below Girona). I have no information about the all important yields.

It's good to see it back, and 2x weekly ought to be a more sustainable frequency.

One way traffic

Surely this route will only be full one way, going back to Poland !

Massive unemployment in the UK and it now makes no sense for workers from Europe to migrate to the UK and send money home, now there is little difference between the currencies.

And before anyone jumps on Me, some of my best friends are polish !

Bizarre that the two new routes at BOH are the ones you would least expect to work, maybe Ryanair have inside info of UK residents flying to Poland to get work.

Next they'll be flying to Greece so we can go and borrow money there. ( my other friends are Greek )

I think there is potential for travellers that originate from the UK. Eastern European Stag Breaks and the fact that Wroclaw is rather pretty too...

Reassuring that they are re-introducing a route that we thought they had killed for viability purposes. Obviously they killed it for schedule optimisation or some other reason. Unless the right arm doesn't know what the left is doing at Ryanair.

What we really need is additional aircraft to be based at BOH by Ryanair. We need the following routes:

Dublin - re-instate (it was twice daily once, big Irish population)
Knock - big population of Irish catholics in Bmth
Inverness
Madrid - Revisit
Berlin
Moscow - inbound wealthy language students
Barcelona El Prat
Iceland
Dusseldorf
Stockholm
Oslo
Bordeaux
Bergerac - second homes. Flybe is making a killing at SOU
Vienna
Salzburg
Nice - upper class demand from Bmth
Innsbruck
Warsaw - One polish destination that hasn't been tested
Athens
Larnaca
Funchal
Fez
Seville
Jerez
Cologne
Rome
Venice
Tel Aviv - large Jewish population in Bmth

I hope you're not proposing Ryanair fly all those routes? Some of them seem a bit wishful, others very realistic. I can't see Reykjavík wokring

Nakata77, what planet do you live on? You're list is unbelieveable.

Inverness, Iceland, Moscow (your "thousands" of language students could be handled by occasional charters if required), Fez, Seville and Jerez virtually next door to each other, Tel Aviv, Stockholm, Oslo, Larnaca (Paphos already served).........!!!

nakata77 is not that far off what we would consider being viable from bournemouth.
the routes we definitely would not do would include Tel Aviv
others that seem unlikely to ever be considered include Cologne, Dusseldorf, Funchal.
never say never to the others.

Good news about Malta, but why definitely not Tel Aviv? Too much of a security cost/ hassle. Or a political hot potato?

Good news Ryanair1. Will that be at the expense of another route using the BOH based aircraft or will be an additional route using the Malta based aircraft Your posts have been very encouraging of late

Yes that is good news Ryanair1 !!

The Bournemouth programme was released a couple of months ago with a fully committed aircraft , the same as this year so really hope it is a Malta based aircraft if the route is announced

Malta always had good loads and is a popular destination from Dorset

No sign of Olympic Holidays returning to Crete next summer so must assume thats a non starter again

No Funchal flights from Exeter this winter or next summer , again a popular destination from this area , so lets hope Atlantic Holidays along with Monarch put on a few more flights

SEP Passengers 76,371; -18.3% on last year

Don't lose too much heart as flights were reduced by a greater amount - 21.6%. This means load per flight improved.

Airports that performed worse than BOH in SEP 2011: Belfast city, Humberside, Newquay, Prestwick, Durham Tees.

DUB was not operated in SEP 2011 which in the previous SEP 2010 accounted for 5,000 pax.

Why hasn't BOH managed to attract Aer Lingus Regional on this service - so many complaints on the BOH facebook page saying people now have to go on Flybe. Flybe's SOU-DUB passenger volume has been growing steadily and now handles over 10,000 passengers monthly since FR pulled off BOH-DUB. BOH is suffering because of the squabbles FR has at other airports. ALC is a 2nd example.

Bournemouth Airport has invested £45million in redeveloping the airport and so far the return on that investment is £0 as the old facilities could have coped with falling demand.

Wonder if they regret spending the money as their cost base has now risen.

SOUTHAMPTON BARCELONA WITH VUELING?

This would be bad news for Bournemouth. Rumoured new service on SOU thread and a.net threads.

Can't Bournemouth sell themselves better? WTF is going on.

SOU closer to LHR too so would dilute their own LHR services. Sounds like Vueling probably don't even know of BOH's existence. A case of Air Berlin all over again.

Vueling don't serve BCN from LHR, not even Iberia do! Spanair also have a sizeable BCN presence, maybe they could fly the route from BOH?

If this BCN route does come off it will be interesting to see what FR's response will be.
