I have asked my Employer why we don't have BOH as a diversion especially for LHR/BRS/CWL flights and have been told that the airport cannot guarantee handling/passengers services and that any diversions would be on a first come first served.
So for all these flights out no1 is BHX, although if I am operating I would always give BOH a try as I could be home in 5 minutes http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ies/thumbs.gif

easyjet @ boh
Heard a few rumours possible easyjet placing one or two a/c at bournemouth once the terminal is finished, can anyone confirm or deny these rumours, hope it's true but have my doubts.

Palmair domestic schedules?
It would be sensible for Palmair to operate some scheduled services from BOH.
I can see some to BFS, GLA and EDI operating out and back before 09:30 departures to Europe for the sun-seekers. Could even get some feed for them. Would certainly be more efficient use of the crews and aircraft which sits on the ground a lot of the time.
It was very progressive of Palmair back in 2002/3? when they announced the double daily GLA flights - soon dropped once Buzz & later FR announced their own GLA/PIK flights.

Also I believe the contract with Astraeus means that Palmair mostly pay for the 737 when it is actually flying - so it costs Palmair very little to leave it sitting on the ground.

The fact remains that there is a demand for domestic routes from BOH, all the Airline ( who ? I don't know ) has to do, is compete with FlyBe and use a similar sized A/C. B738 is too big !
Bournemouth will need some domestic routes to make good use of the terminal they have built.
Ryanair now seem to be concentrating on popular Holiday routes, already served by Thomson & Palmair ! I wonder Why
?
I agree with Nakata77 why not use the Palmair A/C or a Jet2, if the deal with Astraeus is just for flying time, it's not much good for them, an aircraft needs to be Flying as much as possible.
As they say, if you can start something in the recession that works, you will reap the rewards when things are on the up, don't forget the Olympics are not far off, money to be made then !
MAG will have to have a POO Bag fitted if something doesn't show up !

If the aircraft was to depart on a holiday flight at 0930 then the morning flight would have to run (Based on 45 min turnarounds, 1:25 flight time to EDI)
0510 - 0635 BOH - EDI/GLA/BFS
0720 - 0845 EDI/GLA/BFS - BOH
0930 BOH - Holiday
If Ryanair cant make a profit on domestic with flights departing at the "stupid" time of 0640, im not sure Palmair stand much of a chance at 0510 departures!

Don't forget that in the peak summer season there are sometime two "holiday" rotations in a day. How would that work?
As said, if domestic routes re-start out of BOH it won't be Palmair.

To attempt the use the sole a/c on a domestic service would be suicidal and utterly rediculous for Palmair to even contemplate.
The Palmair charter business thrives on the customer orientated, reliable, and punctual service it operates. To risk that by squeezing in other services and risking tech issues/knock on delays would be wholly irresponsible and detremental to the established business.

Even with a 25 minute turnaround the flight would have to leave Bournemouth at 05:50? Easyjet and Ryanair are the only airlines in Europe that can pull off a 25 minute turnaround. This is through established procedures. Im not so sure Palmair could pull it off, they may manage in EDI with domestic only pax, but in BOH, with holiday pax getting on...doubt it.

Though i guess on holiday flights such as what palmair operate then it can be harder as they use cleaners, catering etc... Something TOM proved when they operated there scheduled services. Their crews really weren't trained or at least operate in the way in which those above airlines do. I regularly saw 30 minute turnarounds at DSA and CVT on a 733 turn into at least an hour even after a short JER hop.

Correct me if I'm wrong someone, but wasn't it an airline called Euroscot Express that flew between Glasgow and Bournemouth?

Hi James, Euroscot operated from 1997 to 1999 then it was Gill air for a short time. This ceased in 2000.
In 2002 Palmair announced completely out of the blue that they would do a double daily Glasgow service from BOH using the 2nd B737 they used from European. This was quickly ditched when Buzz announced they would do a daily PIK service as part of the base they proposed (to start Mar 2003)
Buzz then dropped PIK as fast as you can say Jack Flash when Ryanair announced they would do it from Feb 2003 daily.
FOOD CHAIN WORKING!
But now no-one on domestic schedules from BOH... Huge potential exists. If Ryanair can make PIK work for 6 years in some cases double daily B738's on the route then i think its pretty obvious some kind of demand exists.

Or, to re-phrase that, in the current economic downturn they can't make them work.
Or, to re-phrase the re-phrased bit, in the current economic downturn they might work but they can make more money by flying somewhere else. Which is all they want to do - make money.
p.s. My neighbours just got back from Tenerife on the Ryanair flight. Some sort of computer problem which couldn't be fixed until some engineers were flown in. They said they were all looked after very well - taxis laid on to a hotel for the night. Is this really Ryanair
