Unfortunately the LCC business and second tier airports like BOH can only bank on volume. The yield is for the airline to manage. The airport must be focused on volume, and the only way BOH can survive is to do what they do best: budget airline market.

Does anyone know if Aer Lingus Regional will be operating the Dublin route past Oct ?
Seems rather late in the day to launch a winter programme when all other UK airports are bookable except Blackpool which i understand is a summer only route now

All new routes which started in the summer schedule. The current EI regional routes on sale is just form the system being rolled on into the winter. They will all have time changes soon. Would imagine by early July at the latest before they are released but saying that I wouldn't be suprised if BHO was summer only and if it operated in winter I would only expect 3 weekly or 4 weekly.

Security
Hi to everyone here,
I'm a new face to this forum so please go easy on me as I ease myself into your daily routine..
It's been 5 years since I last passed through BOH so a lot has changed since then & I'd like to catch up bit by bit.
31 flights in total sounds good, but divided roughly by 2 (outbound/inbound) makes it a more manageable figure.. a bit like the last time I passed through so sounds like the projected build up has somewhat stalled, considering it's June & summer season.
My question is one in regards to the security search cone area, how many "cones" operate normally or are available during peak times??
Also is the boarding pass check still a pinch point as it was in the old days with just 1 staff member at a desk to check all pax before entering the search area.

Looks like the much waited new route to Dublin is only on sale until end of Oct as Aer Lingus Regional has released there winter timetable and Bournemouth is not available after this period
Very disappointing if this is the case

Aer Lingus
I do hope that isn't true MARKEYD, i've heard the load factors are strong considering it is such a new route.
There is such a huge list of airlines that have tried and failed at BOH, when will someone learn the mistakes of the past to avoid the same fate in the future?
List of airlines & their key routes that were tried at BOH:
Flybe - Manchester
Air Berlin - Paderborn
Wizzair - Gdansk, Katowice, Krakow
Jet2 - Belfast
bmibaby - Jersey
easyJet - Krakow, Grenoble
Ryanair - Glasgow, Edniburgh, Madrid, Reus
Aurigny - Alderney, Jersey, Guernsey
Euro Direct - Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris
Thomsonfly - Amsterdam, Paris, Prague, Salzburg
Lauda air - Innsbruck
Jersey European - Jersey, Guernsey
Dan air - Newcastle, Liverpool
Flyglobespan - was on sale with EDI but never launched
Buzz - was on sale with 7 destinations but never launched
Palmair - announced Glasgow double daily but never went on sale
The reasons for the failures are many and varied but is there a common theme?

hahaha, yes. Remove Dan air and Euro Direct. But still a compelling list? To complete my trolling: Air Sarnia (Alderney), Southern Airlines (Proposed Saab 340 operator to Glasgow, Brussels etc) and Executive Airlines (Manchester)
OH damn! I forgot Gill Airways and Euroscot Express to Glasgow, Edinburgh and a proposed Amsterdam service.
Too many even for me to mention...

Nothing to get to excited about but Bath Travel have added a second day trip to Venice in Oct using BA E 190 jet . The first flight sold out very quickly so the aircraft will night stop now and operate again the next day
There is still obviously a demand for this sort of programme from Bournemouth and Palmair holidays must still be missed by a lot of people who are still prepared to pay a bit extra for quality flights and service

BOH-MAN
Who remembers Air Wight's twice daily (M-F) BOH-MAN route, operated in the mid-1980s with a C404, I think. Most of the seats were block-booked by Barclays (Boooh!) but the service was available for general booking.

Great news! Should make BOH more like an airport at least before the Ski routes; 6 weekly GVA (EZY) and 1 weekly TRN (TOM) start. If I am right in saying prior too this there was going to be 0 flights on a Monday in Nov/1st half of DEC, quite ironic when you consider Monday's have comfortably been the busiest days of the week this summer!!

Excellent news, well done BOH securing this for W12.
In my opinion, if developed well enough, this route should be able to support 12 weekly flights with onward connections in the future.

As long as a morning flight offers trans-atlantic connections then I have little doubt that it will work. Remember Ryanair used to offer 189 seats per day on this route as opposed to 144(2x72) and at not particularly great times either!

Great news that the Dublin route is continuing into the winter! I've heard it seems to be doing well, so hopefully it will continue to do so...its certainly nice to see a different tail over at the terminal instead of the usual stream Ryanairs and the Thomson flights.
Whilst I was bored the other day, I was looking at the winter schedules for a few different places and, unless I was reading it wrong, it looked to me like Ryanair may have a few flights scheduled for the winter period...it said the schedule was valid until December or January 2013 on a few of the flights, although these didn't seem to be on BOH based aircraft. Is this correct??

Geneva for S13?
The airport website is displaying this route as operating until July 2013. Not sure if this is correct or is in anticipation of it happening.
The airport paper edition timetable doesn't even feature Geneva as a route for W13! Typical!
easyJet has the route on sale until 24thMar'13 (a month earlier than normal)

Just looking at the provisional figures for June for the Dublin route , 2nd month of operation and good news is that 2454 passengers used the service making it a 68 % load factor .
Great news it is continuing into the winter season
All the Geneva services are only on sale until March at the moment as the Easy Jet web site is only up until this time at present
Hopefully the timetable will be up dated now to include the Dublin route

June pax up 19%
BOH pax numbers up 19.3% compared to last year at 85,188
No data for Wroclaw or Carcassonne (is this included in the total?)
Strangely Vancouver showed again carrying 2,184 pax. Are these private or business pax?
Big growth seen on Murcia (up 80%) to 7,259 and Palma now the busiest ever route from BOH carrying 14,577 in a single month up 14%.
Turkey saw big declines.
SOU-DUB saw a 14% reduction perhaps attributable to BOH-DUB
June was the wettest month on record so perhaps this explains why BOH has done so well this month, most flights are holiday flights to the sun.
