Now that we have the capital letters discussion closed, lets move on (-:
It's almost 2010, 17 years after Jersey European discontinued their BOH-JER and GCI daily F27 flights and STILL no operator has replaced them with continued operations. JEA and charter operators used to operate up to 5 departures on a saturday alone.
These routes used to carry 40-50,000 high yielding passengers a year together; do we seriously believe that the market has completely evaporated?
The spend per passenger in the airport was very high too - wealthy market. So what on earth is the issue?

I'm actually rather surprised that flyBe don't operate JER/GCI-BOH themselves.
Frankly, they do similar things elsewhere (e.g. IOM-LPL and IOM-MAN) and if they were to do some JER-BOH at limited frequency, so as not to affect their position at SOU too much, surely that would act as a reasonable deterrent to another LCC coming in on BOH-CIs and really screwing up their position on SOU-CIs

The problem is with a LCC doing BOH CI's is costs ! If based aircraft, Obviously it has to be worked into a utiliasation schedule and the timings are all important for the punters, Maybe summer only, But you have to calculate crewing handling costs along with the all important issue of engine landing gear and hard time component costs, Aswell as Acurred maintenance reserves, All Aircarft Cycle or hour based, So the Aircraft pax load is going to need to be at aroud 86% capacity and still be able to work the max amount of hours a day with the leaast amount of cycles
Only my view of course

Good And Bad News
Good news:
Ryanair are re-introducing the daily frequencies to Dublin and Girona Barcelona from next April 2010.
This means EDI, GRO and DUB will all be operated daily for summer schedules.
Bad news:
Only 39 weekly flights are currently on sale to 9 destinations for Summer 2010 including:
ALC 3 wkly, FAO 2 wkly, AGP 4 wkly, MJV 4 wkly, PMI 3 wkly, PSA 2 wkly.
I'm surprised REUS is not on sale yet for Summer 2010 as it was very well supported during summer 09.
I do not anticipate the return of Carcassonne, Limoges as loads were diabolical this year.
Would expect some others like Malta, Bergerac, Venice etc to come online.

You seem to be making assumptions about CCF. This actually was not a bad route this summer from BOH and we would like to bring it back but a/c availability and flight schedules may not allow it just yet. If it is brought back it would be twice a week.
LPA, ACE and TFS may be continued into summer 2010 too but not yet ready to share schedules.
The full BOH summer 2010 timetable is not yet complete.

So you well informed posters are there now more base Ryanair a/c at BOH, seems to be more a/c but less routes and destinations ? !
With the info just posted does that equate to 2 Base A/c next Spring or just one with the other destinations served by EU based a/c.
Will any new Carriers be knocking on the door next spring or will the new Departures not be ready ?

BOH-CCF
If you go on the ryanair website and click on what offers there are from Bournemouth, click on Carcassonne and it will tell you that it restarts on the 30th March. Further evidence is provided if you reversed the link and went on the french site, it will also tell you it restarts on the 30th March.
I presume it is again 2x weekly

Yes correct it states restarts 30th March. BUT...
Promotional fare offer of GBP32 is only valid for travel period 30th Mar 10 to 28th Feb 10 which doesn't make any sense whatsoever! Hence why i cant seem to book it beyond 30th Mar. I think someone needs to tell Ryanair they have put the wrong travel period in for their promotion! I have tried calling their res no. to no avail.

Bournemouth handled 70 , 598 passengers in October down 21 % on last year
Top performing routes were
1) Palma 8423
2 ) Edinburgh 7263
3 ) Malaga 6937
4 ) Alicante 5026
5 ) Faro 4985
6 ) Murcia / Gerona 4600
Thats the end of the summer season now , roll on rather dark figures and movements for winter which is really rather down on last year . Surprised to see the annual New York trip on a Monarch 757 as opposed to the usual A300 Airbus we have usually seen
Summer season still looks strong with some new destinations with Olympic holidays sharing a lot of new routes with Thomson next year using there new based 737 800
Ryanair still dont seem to have commited to a few routes already discussed Reus in particular which performed well this year along with Limoges , Marseille and Carcassone ( fingers crossed )

Easyjet ??
Are Easyjet operating out of BOH this winter ? Is it true they are looking to Base Aircraft when the Expansion is complete ?
Why is there an abundance of Ryanair 738's at BOH ?
Just questions, I have no answers !

Same for BHX.......many routes shown in drop down box on FR website but not bookable for Summer 10. I think with FR this means the routes are under review - so CCF from BOH might or might not operate, watch this space I guess! Its not too late to launch flights for next summer, its only November!

how does Palmair work in the winter?
can anyone tell me how Palmair makes a full time wet lease work with the B737-500 on the ground for MOST of the week for the entire winter season!?
It must be the best job in the world for the crew!

Yes i have often wondered that as well
I am sure that Palmair could make a real killing on ad hoc charter work and sell it as an up market operation using there brand name and service on board there are plenty of holiday companies who are always looking out for small niche operators for flights and off the main charter routes in Europe
There capacity is perfect 126 seater and range , i would suspect though they have thought about this before but for Bournemouth it already works very well for them
