Planespeaking
A very valid point,SOU should have moved forward when they published there 2005 master plan,but as usual nothing materialised,and so have they left it to late?
There's no guarantee that they will get planning permission,and the timescale might be academic if Flybe go under.I would say that the next few months will be critical to SOU future.

From what I recollect of the 2005 Masterplan it was focussed on the insane intent to build a second Terminal Building in the northeast corner with no mention of runway extension. The current airport operator has at last apparently recognised that business development is not going to be possible catering for 70 seat turboprops.

Bournemouth passenger statistics:
August 2018 80,517 down 6%
September 2018 76,101 down 3%
Rolling 12-months 672,000 down 3.4%
Not terrible results - the decrease is a result of less peak 'additional' flights by FR and some strike related cancelations.
Southampton seeming to be in a lot more trouble with August falling by 9% and September 6%.
Interestingly Doncaster Sheffield (where our new CEO has come from) was showing falls of 11% in August.
Exeter continues to do well growing 2% in August and 3% in September and with new double daily services to CDG and AMS this winter and 6 new routes next summer should be well ahead of BOH performance most likely breaking through 1m pax in 2019.

If you look in more detail BOH-PMI did very well in September 2018 with just shy of 18,000 pax handled. Massive volumes for a single route and beat CWL-PMI.
Re CDG & AMS, I think an LCC serving these destinations a few times a week would suffice given the services from SOU-AMS. I think where BOH could excel could be on routes like Doha, Abu Dhabi & perhaps Istanbul for global connections.

Following on from the August / Sept passenger figures , they were all down indeed to Ryanair only , not operating any extra flights in those months to Faro , Malaga and Las Palmas which made a big difference to the figures
All down to no extra aircraft available
Those flights that did operate saw high load factors as usual except the TUI " Corfu " route for some resaon which was down a bit .
Palma as already mentioned saw a wopping 18 , 000 passengers use it , just proves the demand is there
Still no sign of Ryanair continuing the Paphos route passed April at the moment , the first flight out last week went full . A gap still exists on Saturday morning though , which no doubt will be filled soon
Titan Airways are much in evidence this winter operating a lot of Santa flights in December and have also bagged the contract to operate for Hurtigruten tours to Bergen with 3 flights operating in place of Germania
Finally great to see the first BA 747 at BOH in for maintenance for a few weeks with " Gama " ( G-CIVX was seriously damaged at JFK recently in a ground accident and is being looked at here )

I wonder if anyone can help please.
Ryanair still show Murcia flight operating, and taking bookings, to San Javier MJV even for flights after it's closure on the 15th January when flights transfer the new Murcia International Airport (Corvera) RMU.
Wednesday the 30 October was the deadline for winter flightslot requests from airlines to be finalised, yet nothing has been published from Ryanair.
Has anyone heard anything about this and does missing the flightslots deadline mean that Ryanair are now unable to fly to Murcia?

Ryanair have added another flight throughout the summer to Palma on a Thursday taking the route to 7 a week plus 4 flights a week from TUI
This year the only extra flights to Palma were in Aug / Sept
Thats now 7 extra flights for next summer with Ryanair , quite considerable growth from them
Noticed that Liverpool now have Paphos on sale from April with 1 flight a week using a based LPL aircraft so fingers crossed this happens from BOH on the vacant Sat am slot as well
Good to see a first visit of a TUI 787 900 series on the inbound charter from Barbados at the weekend

Certainly all seems to be heading in the right direction, as mentioned, filling the Sat am slot would be a further improvement. Anyone know if is any strength behind the rumour of a jet2 announcement in Jan 19 for a 2020 base?

MARKEYD the additional FR Palma flight is actually 1st June to 26th September not the full summer schedule season of April-October. Granted it's an increase but only of two months. I would prefer to see them adding an additional Palma flight on Sunday to make the service daily.

Ryanair seem to have loaded the BOH-PFO flights for S19 as follows:
Tuesdays DEP PFO 13:55 ARR BOH 16:40 // DEP BOH 17:05 ARR PFO 23:50
Saturdays DEP BOH 06:30 ARR PFO 13:15 // DEP PFO 13:40 ARR BOH 16:25
Tuesday uses a Paphos based aircraft, Saturday fills the 'gap' that existed on the BOH based aircraft

Excellent news!
Also to 'shamrock7seal' above: Ryanair have read your post and added a Sunday Palma service using a Palma based plane (!) for the same period as the extra Thursday flight so now 8 flights per week to and from Palma with Ryanair Jun to Sept.

Ryanair have indeed added an extra Palma flight on Sunday now making the service daily
This now takes Palma to 8 flghts a week and TUI 4 flights a week , 12 in total
At the moment as it stands Bournemouth has an additional 13 flights a week from next summer and 6 new or reintroduced destinations
TUI have launched there winter and summer programme today , as it looks there are no new destinations at the moment just a carbon copy of next summer , although the Paphos service continues throughout the winter now , with just a short break in January for 6 weeks
Nothing to worry about as I am sure if 2019 sell well then new destinations could be added
All moving in the right direction

Real growth, expansion of routes and new/re-introduced destinations.
As a regular user of BOH, my perception is there has been a change to a larger uptake of the inflight sales / drinks etc on FR flights - used to be just a few years back, foil wrapped rolls appearing from bags with a shared bottle of water immediately after take off, now the tea trolley takes a bloody age to get to me
Be interesting to know if this is a reality - inflight sales increases on top of the ‘optional’ pre flight extra sales on BOH flights.
The demographic changes in Bournemputh have been huge - decreasing population age - one of only a handful in country - universities becoming massive - that maybe that change from blue rinse flights to a lower average age is brining changes ... any insiders be interesting to know if I’m just drinking too much caffeine or the routes look to be generating more for FR?

Any ideas ?
anyone know what the A330-34 was doing flying so low over my house in Bournemouth? EC LXA EVE072P - it was bloody noisy and low - followed it as thought it really odd as we generally don’t have anything flying that low apart from airshow as we are not on the landing run. Looked it up said 2000 feet so probably just it was larger jet but it stayed at that height and swung round the new forest.? Looked up say a it’s Evelop!! Air https://www.evelop.com/
