Bournemouth handles 15 , 336 passengers in January down about 7 % on last year but with the loss of Las Palmas and fewer Geneva services not bad in all
Dublin with Aer Arran had 1310 with a load of 39 pax per flight
Geneva with Easy Jet showed 5798 with loads roughly 126 per flight using A319
All Thomson flights averaged 185 per flight
Good to see a First Choice 767 to Barbados on the ramp yesterday , charter was for P/O cruises , the first stand alone flight that did not use Bath Travel lets hope more of those appear next year
Ryanair have added an extra flight to Faro for the month of August departing Sunday and Wednesday departing to Malaga for July and Thursday for the month of August , taking that to 45 departures a week to 16 destinations

Does any body know what's happened with the expansion in the industrial estate. There was a mention of three large hangars being built behind European ramp and beagle moving into one. Is this still planned.

I believe Beagle need to sell their existing facility in christchurch. Morrisons supermarket chain wish to buy existing site and build a supermarket, but local planners have rejected application, but it is apparently in appeal. If it passes on appeal then Beagle will have the cash to fund the move.

Airline routes required by the Route Supermarket.
Airline routes required through the Route Shop..
Bournemouth Airport (BOH/EGHH) | The Route Shop
New routes and frequency possibilities and why these routes would work

routes
looks like someone was bored with nothing to do one day. dream up routes with pax numbers.
it these route were worth doing then a lcc,full fare or charter airline would be doing tnem.
with the recession as it is at this time airlines will not take a chance on new routes or even a new airport.
a lot of cases its not pax numbers that matter.its yeild that is generatedthay counts.
my nearest airport where i live is quad cities and they have the same problem as boh.recession is no different there to the uk.
i would like to see small airports like boh do better. reality is airlines are there to make a profit and not a charity, for a group of spotters with a wish list the end of the day.
if the routes were viable then they would be operating now.

Pug: I think one look at this thread shows that Hurn has a greater concentration of 'spotters' of fantasists as I call them than any other airport in the UK. Surely the decision to plough 50mil into an airport that only attracts the mercenaries of FR and even then on a seasonal basis was made by a 'spotter'.

The route shop is an airport route development service used by many airports around the world wishing to grow their activity, check the home page and count the number of major airports and their locations... Much like the well established routes on line
New routes required by airports | The online route supermarket | The Route Shop
Welcome :: Routesonline
Airlines use them in their planning research.
The BOH page on the route shop as is made clear on the site, uses figures reported by UK CAA statistics, if the stats used by any airport were other than officially derived they would have much less value.
It is good to see any airport proactively, responsibly and professionally looking for new business.
What is interesting is the identity of those airports in the UK not using the services.

If you do the maths the figures seem a bit high if we look at BOH's recent history...
Lets take Edinburgh...
163,265 / 189 (seats) / 365 (days) = 2.3 = number of flights per day on a 189 seat aircraft that should be filled.
A certain Irish airline did run EDI twice a day at one point...and I can't remember the load factor been 100% which according to the figures it should be. Unless I'm doing something wrong?

It all very well advertising on route websites, which is commendable, don't get me wrong but if I was choosing routes, I'd get one that guaranteed 'two-way ' traffic. Especially in these hard economic times.
Loading is one thing but yield is another, and the only way to ensure good yield is good demand. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a 'spotter' haha!

I agree MARKEYD. As they park up a chunk of their fleet each winter, you'd think they could park one at BOH and use a single crew to perform at least a few flights on some days over the winter.
I really can't believe they're unable to make a positive return on some winter sun destinations.

Bournemouth to USA on sale!
Good to see that aer lingus are now selling connections from BOH to New York, Boston and Chicago at sensible prices and with a US immigration clearance in Dublin, saving that dreadful prospect of the arrivals line up at JFK.
The time saved by pre-clearance of US immigration will mitigate the disadvantage of transfer time.
Prices start at £339 each way...
If you know your aviation history, you will already know that scheduled services from BOH to New York were last available in 1946 on American Overseas Airways and pan am using DC4 and Lockheed Constellations...
Real long haul westbound connectivity is now available at BOH, a great step forward.
