not sure about the emerald flights
glad to hear the easyJet rumour is actually not a rumour - and they are actively considering the airport as base potential (although 6 aircraft might be a little ambitious given the fact that Ryanair want to base aircraft too aswell as the already based Tfly jets) I could imagine Tfly wanting to base a 3rd aircraft soon |
I thought Ryanair would only potentially base aircraft in the longer term i.e. 2010 onwards maybe

They are to launch a new route each year and will then after a few years base a/some plane(s) here. |
I see Jet2 have been advertising in the local press for 737 eng’s and loaders based at BH. The loaders are for 40hrs a week starting 19:30 five days a week. Have Jet2 picked up any PO flights or are they about to start some PO flights. ?
|
They have also been advertisig for Operations staff. I thought all of that was moving up to LBA.
|
think they might be taking over the Titan based B733 cargo / ITC / quick change operation. Titan are incredibly expensive, so Jet2 would be able to under-cut. Keeping a small satelite operation at BOH should be no problem - especially for those who do not wish to re-locate to LBA. Hopefully (never say never) this could encourage them to re-consider the viability of some scheduled routes from BOH - but if that doesn't happen there are far more airlines eager to start (watch this space in the next few months)
|
The Jet2 engineering department is staying at BOH (for the time being anyway) so the 737 B1 engineers will be based at BOH but no doubt working at LBA or MAN as required. The Ops jobs are all LBA based but while head office is still at BOH, thats where they are interviewing.
The loaders jobs are for work in the old Channel Express hangar loading the air Contractors aircraft (Jersey news papers etc.) Hope this helps ILS |

Thanks for that - pretty confusing as to why Jet2 would want to maintain SOME presence at BOH. Must be costly to do so. Rumours about EZY and WOW are just rumours - but watch this space for some concrete info soon. |
Eart Orbitor - How soon is soon!
Airport will be publishing their Master Plan shortly. So we may finally get an idication as to when the new terminal will be built. |
Flyboh,
you tell me when the master-plan will be published and i'll tell you when a significant announcement is due... from one of the big 3 LCC |
website currently down - has been for 24 hours
|
EarthOrbitor,
Hmmmm, Well I can't help you out with a date for the master plan, but from your info I would wager that it's either Air Berlin or that the Flybe rumours might have a little more weight to them. Of course thats assuming that I know who the three largest LCC's are! :) |

Reported in the local paper is that Ryanair hope to increase Pisa to daily in the future. Link to article below.

Might have something to do with the ex-Channex A300s working sub-contract for the Turks. but who knows ? Makes for a good rumor :ok: ILS |

"Where do they base all the aircraft I only seem them parked on the Apron at night times do Tfly have a hanger BOH to keep there planes in?"
...in the day the aircraft are being used with short turnarounds hence at nightime when they're not in use they're on the apron. Thomsonfly don't have a hangar at the airport. ...if you wanted to see them in the day late morning always seems a good time roughly, with some ryanairs and the easyjet in as well!I can remember it always geting a bit hectic! Cheers BOH |
...BASCO usually look after the TFly jets if they have some evening maintenance due or if any minor (or indeed major) engineering jobs need doing... can sometimes see the tail just peeping out of the hangar doors. BASCO seems to be doing incredibly well at the airport.
|
"with some ryanairs and the easyjet in as well!"
Wasn't the easy service winter only? |
oh right...well it's not in the booking system so i guess so...i didn't realise that!
|
BOH & loveJet
Thank you both for the information:8 :) James |

BASCO
Hi Mary_hinge,
Could you please give me some more information on this? I had wondered why we have zero planes in for BASCO at the moment. Thanks, Jimmi / BOHEuropean :eek: |
You've got the Green-Tail XI, what more do you need ? Bound to find something from her 'C' checks to make it worth while !
ILS |
Bit more information here:
http://www.airmech.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=5599 Other than that and the industry "Jungle Drums" I know no more :eek: |
BASCO
Have now heared that BASCO will be closeing perminantly by the end of the year...:sad:
BOHEuropean |
you're joking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how come??????? this is terrible news... so Jet2 has left, European Air Charter is weakening, FRAviation is dwindling, BASCO is leaving, Channel Express has gone, what next!? |
At least it will ease some of the traffic congestion around Hurn Bridge and Parley Lights mornings and evenings !
|
demolish the ugly hangars that house these secondary companies and earn some decent money from car-parking, petrol stations, hotels and and IKEA
|
Build car parks and IKEA? You've obviously never driven down the winding, single-track access road that leads to the 'ugly hangars'. There's no way that's getting used for any alternative use until the relief road comes along... in 2014?...
|
shamrock7seal,
how much do think the "ugly hangars" bring in cash wise to the local economy? Go on, have a stab at the figures and advise what companies you have included! :( |
BASCO
Apperently BASCO has just applied for 767 approval, and so this sounds as though the company is not closing down.
I'm not an insider and I'm only passing on what I've heared, so please don't shoot the messenger. Suppose we will have to wait and see what is happening here. BOHEuropean |
Thomsonfly have announced a new weekly service to Grenoble this winter as well as loading Amsterdam into their system.
It will be interesting to see if the 9 or 10 flights a day from SOU this winter to AMS will cause any problems down the road here at BOH. Thomsonfly are slightly cheaper than Flybe and of course you don't have to pay for any hold luggage, yet!:ok: |
STOP PRESS: have just received news that Amsterdam will be served by Flybe from both Southampton and Exeter. (SOU now have 3 airlines on this sector). This means BOH is surrounded by airlines providing superior frequency on this service. Thomsonfly hardly operate a great schedule. Lets hope 3 airlines on SOU-AMS will encouorage KLM to make a decision on whether to go into BOH or SOU.
|
easyJet have re-loaded Bournemouth onto their route map. Hopefully this means something! Geneva has not yet been released for bookings... are they holding off for a bigger announcement? easyJet diverted into BOH the other day from Gatwick. Good to see the A319 here again - in summer.
|
Well finally we get to read the Masterplan. Basically BOH expects to hadle 4.5M pax by 2030 ( 1.8M by 2009/10 ). The terminal will be rebuilt in stages with modern facades used. Plan is to start next year with a new arrivals. Terminal will eventually be 3 x the current size. Car parks to double capacity and a possible new road link directly off the dual carriage way A338.

Easyjets Back! :)
Starting on 15th December right through to April 23rd, Easyjet return to Bournemouth for the Geneva route.
Flight will be as follows: Mon - Fri 1055 1125 Sat 1040 1110 1630 1700 Sun 1355 1425 BOHEuropean |
There are 2 flights on saturdays showing in the booking system. 2nd flight is early evening. Good to see that Easyjet have added a rotation, hopefully they will choose BOH as their new base. Fingers crossed.:ok:
The airport masterplan shows that BOH should be handling 1.8m pax by 2009/10, that equates to about 10 extra 737/A319 flights a day so there should be something happening soon. But who will it be??:confused: |
easyJet should be announcing their new base plans for Bournemouth later this year. Start proposed in spring 2007 to Nice, Edinburgh, Belfast, Berlin, Murcia and Paris. Geneva will continue through summer 2007 operated by Swiss subsidiary.
