Airport Consultative Committee Agendas and Minutes
This is this the page to track for all EBC discussions/decisions ref Southampton Airport …

What’s interesting is that easyJet serves both BOH and SOU to GVA with pretty much the same capacity give or take. This could indicate that the region itself is underserved and both BOH and SOU will continue to grow. If GVA can be sustained by both then the likes of Palma or Malaga for example certainly can.
Palma is already well served from SOU with BACF (3 a week) and TUI twice a week (using their own chartered flights from BACF)
Malaga is 1 a week with BACF.
All the SOU flights mentioned are seasonal summer only.
Incidentally, BOH has no TUI Holiday flights to Malaga anymore.
(BOH-AGP is only served by Ryanair)
TUI nor Ryanair do not operate BOH to Palma in the winter months.
If you want to go to Majorca in the winter from our local area you will have to go from LCY LGW or BRS (On BACF, BA, or Easyjet)
TUI do not offer Palma Majorca at all from any airports in the winter.

The airport really is doing very well during this winter season when you compare their x25 daily departures versus x4/5 with the likes of EXE/BOH/SEN/NWI/HUM/MME/CWL. Makes you wonder how some of these regionals can survive and SOU will likely get even stronger with an extended runway and maybe more airlines and routes forthcoming!
The others survive by not being reliant on airline services, but have a range of other activities to support them (oil and gas heli operations, MRO, painting etc). So arguably they are in a stronger position than SOU.
Maybe wait and see what the impact is of the yet to be built runway extension?

This is good news,but needs confirmation from CAA , it will be interesting to see that any additional airlines will submit to operating from SOU given the news?
SOU needs additional airlines/routes to survive and progress.

Just having the information on an app doesn't seem a particularly good way of disseminating the information to all potentially interested parties. Why not use the airport website as the primary source for this information?

[QUOTE=stewyb;11388240]Ahead of this should be the Ops Director's report to the 3 February meeting of the Airport Consultative Committee, for which I understand that the Minutes will be on the EBC website by the end of this week. If all is still on schedule for a 31 March kick-off the "official" notification of the construction project should appear with the next batch of AIP Supplements, which should appear on the NATS AIS website around 28Feb/1 Mar.

Fingers crossed TCAS, all very exciting now it has reached a near start date!
