Interestingly quite a lot of crossover between the 3 based airlines. Perhaps too much?
Alicante - Ryanair, Jet2
Antalya - TUI, Jet2
Corfu - TUI, Jet2
Dalaman - TUI, Jet2
Faro - Ryanair, Jet2
Fuerteventura - Jet2
Funchal - Jet2
Gran Canaria - Ryanair, TUI, Jet2
Heraklion - TUI, Jet2
Ibiza - TUI, Jet2
Lanzarote - Ryanair, TUI, Jet2
Menorca - TUI, Jet2
Palma De Mallorca - Ryanair, TUI, Jet2
Rhodes - TUI, Jet2
Tenerife South - Ryanair, TUI, Jet2
Zakynthos - TUI, Jet2
Although looking at it I dont think Ryanair will be too fused, however TUI now have Jet2 on all but 2 of their routes. Is there enough to share is my question. Or will this effect TUI in the long run.

Great news for the central southern region - Jet2 holidays are often sought out by the public and Jet2 tend to hold a market of their own so this is very positive for the airport.
The amount of cross-over is slightly surprising given that several other obvious routes are left unserved. Funchal and Fuerteventura are good calls, as are additional services to Palma, Tenerife, Alicante and Faro which soak up demand like a sponge.
I am quite surprised we are not seeing the likes of Dubrovnik, Split, Pula, Larnaca, Malaga, Verona, Almeria, Reus, Skiathos, Bourgas, Izmir, Keflavik, Bodrum, Naples, Warsaw, Bucharest which are all left unserved. Perhaps this will be something we see in 2026, 2027 etc as the base develops.
I am not sure there is the demand for two airlines serving Antalya four times per week as an example, but I would like to be proved wrong.
Ryanair may react by committing to add their intended third based aircraft for Summer 2025 perhaps to some of those destinations highlighted that remain unserved.

Should bring critical mass and greatly help general awareness for BOH and that you no longer need to go to Gatwick to start your holidays. Over next couple of years 2xTUI 3xJet2 3xRyanair should hopefully be realistic and sustainable for the south coast.

Would just like to shout out the owners RCA/Rigby Group how they have done well in building new/maintaining partnerships/commercial agreements with new airlines and bringing new routes, be that Ryanair at Exeter and Norwich (even with that 10 fee at NWI), and of course now at Bournemouth with more based aircraft and jet2 arrival. Of course people will say well if these airlines come any airport won't stop them but even Jet2 will have wanted certain things that the owners will have had to agree too. All the time it seams maintaining a healthy aviation sector in the Rigby Group. Very impressed overall

What a shot in the arm for the airport. This will turbo charge the numbers and keep Ryanair firmly in the game, they are not one to retreat.
Jet2 quite bullish and significantly differentiated to not be worrying about Ryanair. Will this hamper opportunities at the neighbouring airport? With a bit of luck easyJet may expand next year.

Well I certainly didn’t see this one coming but a very welcome addition and one that will compliment the airport incredibly well
The destinations are all very safe to start off with and they have most definitely done there homework with Hays Travel and other independents to realise this is where folks want to travel
A cautious approach to start with , 2 aircraft makes perfect sense
Nothing at all for Ryanair to worry about but TUI need to get a better understanding of what’s happening but give them their due this summer they are expanding so let’s see how it works for them
Its work in progress for next summer S25 and probably a better idea mid April as to how this pans out when they release the revised schedule
Needless to say a lot of work is needed for the airport infrastructure to improve now , particularly in the car parks , check in hall and arrivals area but something Jet 2 would have discussed with the Rigby Group at BOH in order to set up a base here
There is plenty of room to build onto the existing terminal without causing any problems, a massive area between the departure terminal and arrival’s building
Very exciting times moving forward, well done Bournemouth

That is the difference.
TUI Holidays and Jet2 Holidays (now the UK's #1 Holiday Operator) at BOH will be competing for the package holiday market (which is strong here in this area).
Folk will not have to trek to LGW or to BRS.
EXT with TUI is a pretty small base with just one 737 and used to be much busier in the past.

With Jet2 clearly planning ‘growth’ and the potential for a 3rd Ryanair based I would think that 2M passengers per annum would be the target now for the airport, potentially as early as 2026 or 2027. Will depend a bit on how extensive the Jet2 winter schedule is and if TUI can hold on to their slice of the cake.
I was very sceptical when Jet2 launched STN at the home of Ryanair, I thought they'd be eaten alive. Turns out they seem to have carved out their own successful niche at Stansted. So Jet2 managed to succeed vs. Ryanair at STN where easyJet basically gave up, so there's room for both at BOH I suspect, if they're smart.

I think BOH is still a way off 2 mppa. Assuming Ryanair keep similar levels in 2025 they'd probably be looking around 1.3 to 1.4 million in 2025 calendar year. Still a great number by all means.
Looking at Jet2 and TUI S25 now and overlaying Ryanair's S24 programme for a peak Saturday in August, the departure schedule would look like this:
FR 0630 BUD
LS 0645 TFS
FR 0655 NTE
TOM 0700 IBZ
LS 0720 ALC
TOM 0740 PMI
FR 0745 VCE
FR 0805 GRO
FR 0835 MLA
FR 1030 AGP
FR 1210 ALC
FR 1235 CCF
LS 1355 AYT
TOM 1400 PFO
FR 1405 WRO
TOM 1435 RHO
LS 1640 PMI
FR 1715 FAO
FR 1715 PMI
RK 2115 EDI
The main observation for me would be that morning period where there's 9 departures in basically a 2 hour window. Of course only the BUD and NTE are on the based Ryanair aircraft but on a Saturday morning in S24, Ryanair have 3 fairly early morning turnarounds on top of that (VCE, GRO and MLA). I'm not familiar enough with Bournemouth Airport to know if that would actually be achievable with the infrastructure available. Of course Ryanair will inevitably change stuff around for S25 but as BOH will not be a fully slot co-ordinated airport, there's probably very little RCA could actually do to smooth the flow of traffic.
It's a great problem to have of course.

Based on my experiences of flying from there this year, having four 737s departing/landing within a short period will make the terminal extremely crowded and I think the facilities will be bursting at the seams.

The departure terminal at BOH only has 6 gates so they would need to expand that to at least 8 as some flights from non-based aircraft start to interact with the 6-based aircraft. The arrivals hall including the border force area really needs a drastic improvement in order to accept more than two flights arriving simultaneously.
The airport is in need of 1) a hotel to ensure early morning departures for customers driving into Bournemouth from further afield and 2) some sort of improvement to the diabolical public transport options into the airport from the train station.
If the airport has any desire to get close to 2mppa, which is a distinct possibility in 2026/7, then they must do this. Jet2 has already alluded to wanting to put more aircraft into the airport after the initial two and it is very likely that Ryanair will want to maintain its foothold and increase their presence. I still expect Ryanair to launch Belfast services for example.
One airline that may also want in on the action is easyJet. Whilst they are flirting with some destinations from SOU, they continue to operate a dual service from both BOH and SOU to GVA. BOH has the upper hand on this dual service with the most capacity and this is no different in 2024/25. I could easily see easyJet wanting to do some more from BOH as the infrastructure is developed. A complimentary network to Jet2 & Ryanair could be developed including Amsterdam. SOU will not want to damage KLM services to AMS so this is a way in for BOH.
It's going to be a very interesting time for BOH. There is scope for it to be at least 25% the size of BRS when comparing catchment areas resulting in mppa of 2.5 to 3.
