Not according to the Airport website.

Yes it’s only 6am to 7pm basically designed to catch office workers traveling to aviation park and perhaps staff to and from the terminal. I think only 1% of passengers actually use it.

Bus service
 

A truly shocking service it has absolutely no resemblance to an airport shuttle -
It is not even timed to meet the few flight departures or arrivals - it takes forever via a convoluted route of many stops and it runs to suit the business park timings - what is so difficult in running a £5 a trip station to airport shuttle 2 x half hourly shuttle Christchurch station to airport to Bournemouth station/coach station to airport - 5am - 11pm - especially in summer - potentially 1 x half hourly winter?
Surely that's just a basic investment if you had any hopes of providing a LCC base - it's literally 10 mins max from Christchurch station 14 from Bournemouth direct - that's extremely attractive train to plane timings - I use the route (by car) -and a lot and the talk on here about traffic issues has never been my experience - it is rare and never critical delay wise - infact ideal for a bloody shuttle !!

Agree FrequentlyFlying.

Eventually (it must only be a matter of time surely) once the airport is back to being a legitimate LCC hub then the next bus operator will be someone like MORE bus running from Poole to the airport via Bmth Train Interchange

That really can't come quick enough , perhaps the out going MD from Southampton can have a joint leaving do with the Bournemouth MD !!

Easy jet have released there schedule for next winter and great to see the carrier returning , with little impact it would seem on competition from Southampton on this route

6 flights operate again , with 2 flights on a Saturday and the Friday service is back up to an A320

Fri A320
Sat. A320 am flight
Sat. A319 pm flight
Sun A320
Mon A319
Thu. A319

But you list Friday as an A319!

Nothing that can't be sorted !

Let's hope the new Airport owners re-establish some of the lost LCC routes under MAG rule. Combined with that, they should also find a bus operator who can provide a reliable fast airport shuttle like FrequentFlying suggests, maybe some financial incentive to get a route going that covers arrivals & departures.
The B1 is really all about serving the industrial aviation park and not the terminal, the terminal is just a sideline.

How will they do that? Form their own airline? If airlines pulled off routes because they were not making enough money there is not that much an airport owner can do do get them back.

Easy - put a bus on! :ok:

Rumour on the SOU thread that easyJet are talking to SOU about S19 - not clear if for sum routes or continuation of GVA. Rigby had better be talking to easyJet to ensure that doesn’t happen. Else BOH’s core advantage over SOU is at risk (leisure sun routes).

Given how fast the take over took from the MAG group to Rigby , I bet there is a lot of things happening that we are unaware of behind the scenes

Just looking already announced at BOH in a short space of time is

Paphos for winter with Ryanair and a continuing base operating in the winter

Easy jet continuing to operate to Geneva with 6 flights despite SOU operation

TUI massively expanding in 2019 with 3 new routes on top of there core based routes

Additional P&O cruise flights to Barbados

Rigby have said they are actively looking to bring in more routes

Why is the Ryanair BOH-KRK service not bookable beyond Jan-19???

Route dropped.???

Its been off sale since the beginning of January , only bookable up to end of January 19

The loads and prices have always been high on this relatively new route , had high hopes that it may continue this time , but perhaps not , unless its been suspended for a couple of months

Maybe it’s a crewing issue? Would be odd to plan dropping it so far in advance

Route dropped
 

It would not be a crew issue this far in advance. Think about it that its not far away from brexit in January,and air lines will and have been keeping a eye on routes to Europe in general. I recon with brexit a lot of other routes from UK airports will be in danger of being dropped as well.

The SOU thread is reporting easyJet doing Palma four times per week from next year but I can't find anything confirming this.

If so it's bad news for BOH.
