Wroclaw, Krakow, Katowice and Gdansk were operated in 2007 and 2008 by Ryanair, easyJet and Wizzair. For lack of demand - they discontinued. Doubt they will try again.
Perhaps Warsaw would be a potential with better demand?
Surprised that Flybe are not testing these markets from SOU though.

Every destination with where low cost carriers are based should be tested for both their tourism and business potential and our tourist authorities should be approached to see how much they would contribute to such routes.
FlyBe do seem to test numerous markets very well especially the ex-pat markets, says he sitting down here in the sun in Murcia, I know for a fact that a twice weekly service to MJV in the winter from BOH would do well.
Thank you Shamrock7seal for my first response as a participating member to a forum I have followed for many years.

Alicante (2 weekly), Malaga (2 weekly) and Tenerife (1 weekly) will now also presumably be flown by the based aircraft - even so 12 flights a week is not exactly overworking it!

Both Wizz and easyJet used to serve Krakow from BOH back in 2008 or 2009. It was then discontinued as the route had two airlines flying 6 times per week - too much capacity. This time FR will certainly prove the route to be very popular - there are huge numbers of Polish people from this part of Poland living in Southampton and Bournemouth.
Previous Polish routes from BOH:
Wizz tried Gdansk, Krakow and Katowice (Year-round)
easyJet tried Krakow (Winter season only)
Ryanair tried Katowice and Wroclaw (Year-round)
Potential new Polish routes:
Warsaw would be strong, BOH should be targeting Wizz to return for this one.

Bournemouth handled 56,365 pax in April 2016, 6.5% up on April 2015. Pretty good considering no Flybe services in April this year. Not sure if this growth will continue though into May and June.
Rolling 12 month total at the moment stands at 736,581

Very good news regarding the base at Bournemouth being year round again , at the moment it looks like just 1 flight a day in the winter with some of the flights still being operated by non based aircraft but with Ryanair this can change at any time
Regarding the above passenger figures yes April was a good month but afraid it all goes down hill from May throughout the summer even though Ryanair have addd considerable extra flights to some destinations in mid summer
The winter 2016 / 17 is looking good now with an extra 8 flights added between Thomson and Ryanair
Santa Lapland flights up to 6 departures now ( 2 this last winter ) and Barbados looking to have 6 departures with a possible repeat of the BA cruise charters to the Med in April / May next year again
