The arrival of EZY full time should help things along

Wishful thinking..... too close to Gatwick for another major EZ base. Maybe one or two more flights to their most popular destinations, but no based aircraft is the most likely scenario.

Same could be said for SEN with LTN & STN on its doorstep. Fact of the matter is London is at full capacity and maybe EZY see SOU as an overflow to Gatwick with a mainline station 60minutes from central London. Of all the LCC’s that the airport wish to attract, my money would certainly be on the orange lot, just as I could foresee Jet2 pitching up in the future at BOU!

I would agree with a future Jet2 at BOH. Look at how they are competing successfully when head to head with Ryanair at other UK airports. So the presence of Ryanair at BOH probably doesn't bother them in the slightest. They may even see it as a positive to provide an alternative. However, Jet2 seems to go into bases in a big way and there just isn't the demand in the BOH catchment to do that. I would hazard a guess that if they do ever do BOH it would be a split base with EXT. Jet2 could also do very well from EXT and chip away at the easyJet/Ryanair BRS base.

Ryanair has added some extra flights to cover Oct half term it looks like into the beginning of Nov
Faro 4 flights
Malaga 6 flights
Palma 7 flights
Still gaps in the TUI summer 2020 programme with 3 flights still missing in the schedule to bring it up to 2 based aircraft on Fri / Sat / Sun
Surprised that MAH and IBZ are not on sale

TUI have stated that Summer 2020 from BOH will see an additional 42,000 seats.
If that is true then it means an extra 5 departures a week above this summer. DLM second frequency is 1, CFU second frequency is 1 and ZTH weekly is a total of 3. That is around 27,000 seats May-Oct.
One can therefore surmise that 2 more weekly additional flights are yet to be added to the Summer 2020 programme.

The article says 14 destinations. There are currently 12 destinations on the timetable for summer 2020 with 18 weekly departures - Antalya, Arrecife (x2), Corfu (x2), Dalaman (x2), Heraklion, Kefalonia, Las Palmas, Palma (x4), Paphos, Rhodes, Tenerife South, Zakynthos. Will the other 2 be Ibiza and Minorca as in 2019 or new destinations? There needs to be 4 more departures added to the timetable to achieve the extra 5 (2019 = 17, 2020 = 22?) but I can only see 3 gaps in the schedules - Wednesday a.m, Friday a.m (assuming 2nd aircraft) and Saturday a,m (assuming 2nd aircraft).

Dalaman is only 1 flight a week now as it looks like TUI have pulled the Friday flight operated by Freebird A320
Still leaves a gap of 3 flights to be filled , as well explained above

Hi!
I've been affected by this...but not to too great an extent. Booked the LM 611 BOH-JER on 11 May (thinking it was an inaugrual
flight - but isn't..) with only one seat already reserved (14A). Received an e-mail yesterday apologising for it being cancelled and offered the alternative LM 609 departing 11.55 instead of 14.00. Didn't initially notice that it was a direct flight with one stop until I read this thread.
Upside is I get double the take off/landing in a Jungle Jet
. downside I have had to book a hotel in Bournemouth for the night to make sure I'm there in time (rail engineering works etc).
Looking forward to it...let's see what happens

Well my flight(s) on Saturday were fun!. At check-in agent commented "Oh! You're the Jersey passenger".
Fourteen of us BOH - GCI then I got spoiled by the excellent cabin attendant whilst on the ground. She very kindly made me a coffee, took photos of me on my 'private jet' and with the flight/ground crew, rounded off with a personal safety briefing on departure. Excellent flying conditions all the way and even got an apology from the JER ground crew that they hadn't rolled out the red carpet for me
On a side note, liked the tour of the airport hinterland whilst on the Yellow Buses 737 service. Didn't realise that there was parting out operations taking part there - is that why the A340's are there?

Flew in on the Jersey flight today. Only 6 pax but 20 outbound back to Jersey,The price of the tickets
are cheaper than FLY-BE so why not more popular? Flight time just 26 mins, Superb service.

Flew NWI - JER last week, same aircraft that continues to Bournemouth on its W pattern. 37 seats all taken on the NWI run, around 32 on my return. The very friendly and excellent cabin crew said to me the Bournemouth run is "very quiet"

BOH seems obsessed with promoting the new Jersey route only on Twitter to around 2,500 people - the same people - day in day out. Such awful marketing and PR it’s no wonder no one knows about these flights. My parents only know about this flight because of me. Otherwise they’d have kept using SOU
