Looking at the Ryanair Winter Timetable just out, it looks as though Bournemouth is going to lose the Frankfurt Hahn route as it does not seem to be included (unless it is still to be added). Dublin remains as a daily service but the Prestwick route runs daily except Saturday for the winter.

Ryanair to launch additional services to Bergerac or Bergamo this winter in response to Flybe at Southampton and step up Prestwick to 2 a day. Apparently MOL getting p**sed off with French saying he is the third biggest low cost in the UK and is going to teach him a lesson about the costs of Dash 8's v 737

See Aurigny have applied for a licence on the BOH-JER route as well as JER-STN to complement their GCI operation. The latter will provide competition to Flybe who have just extended their seasonal summer ops on the LTN-JER route throuhgout the winter. Probably the nail in the coffin on that proposed route(LTN-JER) by Now

The Bean Counter,
How did you find out this info??? Would be really nice if it happens. I'm sure that the FR schedules are not complete at the moment as it would make no sense to drop capacity on the PIK service as this is doing V. well. Loads of 90% and higher are the norm. The Hahn service struggles through the winter months and really only picks up May through October. Craft would be better used else where.

Why does a 146 out of SOU need to tech stop at all. Surely the 146 was built to fly in and out of short fields, hot and high fields, and short, hot and high fields.

It is very encouraging to see the vast increase in service from BOH and the many other regional airports. However, where are all the passebgers coming from to fill all these services from BOH/SOU. Do Palmair still operate ?

Yes Palmair are Still operating with two 737 painted in their colours from European Airlines.
My question is Why Aurigny for Bournemouth - Do they see Le Cocqs a threat ? The Airline should have started this route many years ago when they first applied for the routes....

Ryanair at BOH say that they have passengers travelling from south and west London as its easier to get to BOH than Stansted and Luton. Journey times can be as little as 1hr 30mins even in heavy traffic. As long as theres no hold ups on that A31.

Steevo; I concur that indeed you can get from these areas in 1.5 hours and no doubt pass thru the checks/ security etc in 30 minutes unlike LHR/LGW/STN. Though I am told there are not so many queues at LGW.
The future lies with much more work from the regions surely and the sooner the BAA monopoly is broken up and everyone is on an even playing field the better. I wish no harm to BAA but their continual juggling with monies for all their S/E airports to compete with the privates cannot be right.
If someone can comment I would like to know the views on SOU as they are managed by BAA, can this sit comfortably.

It appears everyone is forgetting the carribean flights from bournemouth starting this autumn! (european).
Now, that is sure to fill up the terminal in a heartbeat.
They might even need a second ATM

The 146 may have been designed as a short-field aircraft, but its hot temperature and range performance is not good. The Avro RJX would have offered better performance for FlyBe, but unfortunately it was cancelled.

So as a BAA shareholder, one could ask, "Which UK airports are subsidising the BeFly Eastleigh operation?" For sure, they are!
Seen this occur, in an uneven battle between Beds and Essex in the early 90's. One airport propped up via X subsidies from another more profitable. Westprick is in a similar battle now to Hurn.
Now subsidies are disguised as regional development aid, then it is was blatant cash on the table, or so it seemed?
Good to see Gwyneth on the case now! Too late mate, though! X subsidies will now have to go to pay for T5

Flight BE1607 should now be displayed on SOU airport screens as Southampton-Bournemouth-Murcia. At least 3 this week have had to pop in and 1 last week. Maybe we'll get another visitor tonight. Lets hope the Sun keeps shining. Really showing up SOU weakness!

WOW, FlyBe certainly have a recipe for making money, or is a certain floated company, cross subsidising this from its other UK airports and paying for empty seats to be flown by certain other charter carriers 'cause the runway is toooooo short?
This weather is certainly toooooo hot for bears!

The Cash Machine has now arrived at Bournemouth.....++++........................................ ..........................
But are we going to get ripped off to the tune of £1.50 each time we use it...............if so they may as well take it away again........
