Shamrock7seal , no worries goodness we have all done it !!
Bournemouth handled 74 , 453 passengers in July down nearly 7, 000 passengers on last year
Not sure really why , but a reduction in flights from Las Palmas and Malaga this year with Ryanair is the main reason I think
Otherwise as usual , healthy figures on all the schedules
Ryanair are always late on putting on sale Summer flights from BOH , should hopefully be added next month

This is the latest news courtesy TravelMole.
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have announced a big recruitment drive offering over 3,000 jobs across the UK and Europe for a variety of positions to support the company's growth.More than 2,000 jobs are located across the company's nine UK bases - in flight deck, cabin crew and ground operations roles - and a nationwide roadshow will support a huge recruitment drive to fill the roles, giving jobseekers the opportunity to meet with staff to find out more.
The announcement comes as the airline continues its growth strategy, on the back of summer 2018, which saw its biggest programme so far of flights and holidays.
Next summer, the company will increase capacity by another 12%, with over 12 million seats on sale.
To support this growth Jet2 is looking to fill 100 flight deck, 1,000 cabin crew and 1,000 ground operations positions in the UK alone.
On top of these UK roles, there are more than 1,000 positions available across Europe.
Jet2 CEO Steve Heapy said: "This is our biggest ever recruitment drive, and once again demonstrates our commitment to investing in our customers and in people's careers."
This is the latest news from TravelMole.
Sorry but no recruitment drive for BOH?
(No base there either - as yet?)
Some nice jobs though all over UK and abroad on the Jet2 careers website. (both Jet2 and Jet2 Holidays)

Pug. Although not written in stone the possibility exists through this statement: So, that Jet2 will continue to expand is not really in doubt, read their company reports. That any new base will be south of Birmingham is also pretty clear. They are already established pretty much everywhere else. Of those southern airports potentially available, the airline seems to have ruled out LHR, LTN and LGW in the southeast. We know they are all full at peak times anyway. Beyond that, there are not too many airports in southern England (and Wales) with the runway length and slot capacity to cope with a full B738 to just about any of the Jet2 destinations... BRS, CWL, BOH, EXT, NQY. Then there is demand and competition to think about.

But is Paphos actually confirmed for S19 yet? Ryanair haven't released anything for BOH beyond March 19.

TUI was on sale 6 months ago for Sumer 2019 flights from BOH.
Surely they will be taking customers off the market that could otherwise have considered flying with Ryanair.
What is going on?

Lots of Winter 19 being launched - less than 6 months seems a bit unnecessarily risky. Maybe the Jet2 rumours and new management have caused some delays looked back here in 12 months ago and nothing in fact winter launches talked about .... hmmmm

Ryanair are always late in loading there schedules from smaller UK airports , BOH is no exception
Last year they started to load there Summer 18 schedule on 9th Sept as was looking back out of interest
Ryanair have loaded Krakow for next summer which stays at 2 flights a week
EasyJet don’t start to load there summer schedule until mid Oct and then it’s only until about June 19
so I don’t think anyone needs to be duly worried

Actually Easyjet release early summer on 20th September and the peak season a week later.
Holiday companies release their holidays over 12 months ahead hoping to get customers to rebook as soon as they return from this year's.

Ryanair announce Exeter flights
Knew something was up with Ryanair - they just announced flights from Exeter ... not sure how this will go for BOH since the catchment of both airports overlap

Boh owners Rigby also run Exeter - so likely Rigby have done some deal ? It’s all a bit odd though to release Exeter flights and not BOH still .... hmmmmm (again) ... Caliing MarkyD for an explanation to settle us BOH frequent flyers!

Not sure if I know the answer to that one !! Lol
Ryanair have released the Malta schedule now for summer 19 , same as this year . Think they are just drip feeding the schedule for 19 as most other smaller UK airports that Ryanair operates from are in the same position as BOH
I would imagine that Ryanair is testing the water a bit regarding EXT for next summer as the likelihood of Flybe not operating a summer sun schedule from 2020 looks possible , so easy for them to takeover
We will just have to wait regarding what the plan for BOH actually is , but hopefully with the incumbent MD leaving at the end of this month hopefully a more dynamic MD will be able to takeover and announce what the future plan might look like at BOH

1 ) Don’t see Exeter Airport as a threat to BOH in starting operations from their
2 ) Finalising the summer schedule still and will release it in the next few weeks
3 ) Must all be true !!!

Yes read it in me local rag to, it’s always the same old crap in the comments column, not a clue about business and whining on about 2.50 which they clearly don’t ever use as it’s 3 quid! That’s less than priority bags with FR and happily pay it - maybe they should call it a convenience charge, still be happy to pay it! Great little airport could easily handle 2 or 3 more based aircraft - whether Rigby manage to get FR to expand or Jet2 in remains to be seen - but it’s waiting - the constant whining about road links is a red herring too - not much worse than some of the approaches to a lot of airports.

People drive from the West Country and Western Dorset to BOH to take Ryanair to Malaga and Malta. The more services that open up at EXT the more that western catchment for BOH will dry up surely?

Bournemouth , Exeter and Bristol are like a triangle - almost equdistance in a map - not sure how that doesn’t impact catchment but I suppose whilst Southampton remains infrastructure and more importantly time restricted the corridor of catchment to Bournemouth is still large with what in effect is two small cities - Southampton & Bournemouth /Poole /Xchurch On irs doorstep - so guess we will see first at the release for BOH and secondly and numbers and (guess) yield at both - don’t forget BOH has (currently) slots and plane parking facilities which aren’t in huge supply elsewhere. Time..... as they say... still think FR are being cagey in the press release about BOH something is stirring.

Several points to note regarding the posts about the RYR announcement re a handful of Exeter flights.
1. Competition with Flybe
Flybe do not serve Malta or Naples and with the withdrawal of E195 and concentration on a Q400 fleet, even the future of Malaga for the airline is doubtful. Flybe is not pursuing routes that compete with low cost carriers, because by their own assessment, they cannot compete in those markets with their fleet.
2. Catchment
Exeter and Bristol serve Cornwall, Devon and West Dorset, RYR already serve Newquay and Bristol, but EZY is the biggest carrier by far for the west country with its BRS base. It makes sense for RYR to take a bigger bite of that proven market. It will be the EZY market at BRS that looks the juiciest for RYR.
3. Overlap with BOH
The road travel time from BOH to EXT, LGW, and BRS is almost identical. Heathrow is actually closest from an average journey time standpoint. The leakage from the south coast to the London airports (esp. LHR/LGW) is much greater, which also provides a market opportunity for BOH, BRS and EXT. That’s the opportunity that RYR (and EZY/Jet2) will be after.
4. RCA
It seems to me that RCA have done a good job in securing RYR for Exeter, and there are also signs that they are making progress at BOH. The GAMA announcement was a significant milestone. From what I hear expect more route development news.
5. Jet2
The biggest market in the UK is London, the company has said it wants to grow London and the south east, and is adding 3 aircraft at STN for 2019. So the only major population not living within 90 minutes drive of an existing Jet2 airport are still those many millions living south of London and Bristol. BRS, BOH and EXT will be on the radar as potential options as part of that strategy for Jet2 at some point and the company will likely roll out in that order. With Gatwick later when and if it can find the slots - which is more of a challenge.

Look likes RYR have started to load Summer 19 schedules, at first quick look, no major changes or new destinations, the LPA flight timings have changed -LPA-BOH-LPA so an early evening arrival in Las Palmas, and Paphos stops at end of March
