Easy jet have dropped the Sunday service to Geneva leaving 5 flights a week for the season

Looking at other bases and flights to GVA it looks quite a cull they have had so hopefully between SOU and BOH they have fared somewhat better

Has a feasibility study ever been carried out to consider connecting the airport terminal to the main railway line with a light rail or maglev style infrastructure?

Not being rude but I am guessing you have come late to the party re BOH and public transport conversation’s over the years on this thread

In answer to your question is a big “ NO “ it’s been discussed and it’s not going to happen

BOH can’t even get a bus service that’s regular or reliable I am afraid
Sorry .....

There used to be a railway station at Hurn (now the Avon Causway pub), but unfortunately it closed in 1935 about 7 years before the airfield was built.

BOH handled 16,280 pax in July 2020. Obviously a massive fall from 95,320 the year prior.

Other airports handled much fewer than BOH including CWL at just 3,506 pax and SOU with only 7,594. EXT handled 2,150 for the month. Probably a reflection of the double hit caused by Flybe's collapse. Nonetheless a slight silver lining to the clouds for BOH.

Ryanair are releasing their Summer 21 schedule slowly
At the moment everything is pre Covid 2020 , basically nothing has changed except the Dublin flights are only 2 a week as opposed to 4 and Prague is back on sale having moved to a summer only destination

TUI seem to be drip feeding there flights back for next summer but 7 destinations remain off sale

Tenerife
Dalaman
Antalya
Crete
Skiathos
Ibiza
Lanzarote ( only 1 flt at the moment)

There are gaps in the schedule but it looks like there is no 2nd aircraft from Fri - Sun
The same is with Exeter no 2nd aircraft Mon - Thu

Hopefully things will improve but everything is very fluid at the moment

At the moment TUI seem to be having a bit of a cull at BOH and EXT with summer 2021
Ibiza
Crete
Tenerife
Skiathos
Dalaman
Lanzarote
Las Palmas
These are all off sale with Antalya going 2 x week at the expense of some other routes . All the flights have been brought in house with TUI , but no second aircraft base at the moment

More bad news - Turkey has just been added to the No-Go on your Hols list...
Guess TUI's DLM & AYT will get canned for OCT>?

That would leave just one TUI holiday flight a week to CFU... That's not gonna butter many crumpets is it.

I've never known anything like it in our Industry

Losing Turkey flights would also apply to TUI's Ops out of EXT and BRS in our SW area
FYI MARKEYD

At this rate, the likes of TUI will have practically no flights for at least the first part of W20, maybe a handful of weekly departures from LGW/MAN. I can’t really think of what winter flights are going to be able to go ahead...

Edit: for now Cyprus seems to be okay but that’s about it, and it often isn’t available for the whole of winter outside of the big bases anyway.

It's a shame they haven't done more alternative destinations where covid has not been so prevalent, like Cape Verde destinations (Boa Vista & Sal), which are hot year round..

I'm sure Cape Verde is also under quarantine because its infection rate is at least 50% higher than the uk

Can confirm Cape Verde is a no go. Was booked with TUI from Gatwick for late Jan 2021 and that has already been cancelled and refunded!

Interestingly BOH handled more passengers in August 2020 than SOU and EXT combined. 22,309 were processed through the terminal.

Bournemouth may well have handled more passengers in August than SOU or EXT but it will be short lived moving into winter

Unfortunately Ryanair have cut quite a few more flights leaving just a few services a week now

Flights suspended until March are

Malta
Prague
Dublin
Tenerife back down to 1 x week ( new Monday flt canx )

Flights still operating are

ALC x 2
AGP x 2
FAO x 2
KRK x 2
TFS. x 1

TUI are scheduling the usual TFS , ACE and LPA and PFO , PMI and AYT re start in March
Looking at next summer quite a big reduction at the moment with the following all off sale

IBZ , HER , TFS , LPA , DLM and JSI

To be expected and not surprising , BOH has probably fared a bit better than some airports this winter but still a big step back

European A340's

European Cargo are rumoured to be launching a series of flights from BOH for Amazon with A340-600's, carrying mail and light weight packaging. Yesterday saw the launch of a flight from BOH to JFK rumoured to be part of the series. There are now 7 based A340-600's at BOH.

Will be interesting to watch this development.

European own 19 A340 according to their boss Paul Stoddart in media interviews over the summer. In addition to the former Virgin aircraft, they acquired the ten A346 previously operated by Etihad a couple of years ago. European’s principle business has been aircraft spares for about 30 years.

There are currently 7 Operational A346 at BOH, of which 5 are ex VS and 2 ex EY.

European will operate ‘about 10’ aircraft on cargo charters, PPE & Package work using the Maleth Aero AOC. It looks as though this will be 7 A346 & 3 B733, using the European Cargo brand. A Single 733F is currently operating a 5 per week BOH-BFS service.

Stoddart was expecting US and Africa work for the 346 when interviewed back in the summer. Rumoured that DHL/Amazon are the customer for the US.
