One of the busiest days so far comes to Bournemouth on Tuesday 24 April with Futura operating 8 student charter flights and First Choice operating 2 cruise flights as well as the normal scheduled traffic in between .
Between 0600 and 0900 and again 1300 and 1400 there should be all series 737 to see on the ramp from European , Thomsonfly , Futura , Ryanair and Air Berlin no less !!
Pretty good for a small regional airport !
Futura Schedule
0640 BCN FUA 737 400 VLC 0730
0705 MAD FUA 737 400 MAD 0755
0715 AGP FUA 737 800 ALC 0805
1035 SVQ FUA 737 400 LPA 1135

I always knew there was massive potential with the english student market... and here is the proof! shame they arn't using the Ryanair flights to MAD & GRO though, and the Thomsonfly services to VLC and ALC. That would surely be cheaper than chartering a whole aircraft...

Will Shannon be continued after the summer though. For January there was a load factor of just 27% with an average of just 51 people on each flight (on a 189 seater plane)!! Surely it's days are numbered!

Starting a new route to Shannon in the winter (it commenced 28/10) always seemed a strange decision to me. It will be interesting to see how well the loads pick up over the summer months. If it remains around 50 passengers per flight it would seem more suited to someone flying smaller aircraft such as ATRs.
However it does seem to be part of the Ryanair model to run services all year round unlike other lo-cos that have winter routes and summer routes. For example Thomson fly Bournemouth to Palma only in the summer and Salzburg only in the winter. Do Ryanair have any seasonal routes from any of their bases?

Ryanair will carry more than 450,000 passengers from BOH this year - just as many as Thomsonfly, and yet Ryanair is not yet based. Milan and Rome most likely next destinations (probably sometime this year) at 3 and 4 weekly frequencies respectively. Madrid now picking up but SNN slow to move into the black! See how this summer goes as to whether it will be seasonal.

Thanks for the info good news for BOH with Ryanair
Will they be called Ryanair still?

Hopefully Bournemouth will feature a couple long haul low cost services by Ryanair's new subsidiary by 2009/10

No surprise there if the SNN route gets cancelled... But they should at least wait to see how summer performs - surely they will be carrying a lot of tourists over the summer time. Certainly more than the dismal months of October through March

So I’m curious, what’s the usual model when Ryanair setup a base at an airport they already fly to?
Normal pattern for non bases are yo-yo flights from existing bases (ie, the 7 existing routes to BOH) so would those routes still run as is plus a potential 9 additional new routes (3 planes each doing 6 sectors a day) as well or would the new planes do some of the existing routes?

Today busiest day ever!
An estimated 6,000 passengers predicted today as Futura and others operate up to 10 flights bringing students to study english on top of the airports normal programme.
Bournemouth had fantastic March 2007 - over 84,000 pax went through (12% up). Gerona was busiest route - 9,545 pax. Followed by Geneva - 8,693. Madrid and Shannon picking up nicely.
Bournemouth was not just ahead, but WAY ahead of: Exeter, Doncaster, Teesside, Norwich, Guernsey, Humberside, Inverness, Newquay, Blackpool, Coventry and Isle of Man.
