The route is already well served by Tui and Ryanair. Did you honestly think that Ezy would go head to head with these guys from the same airport?

Major competitor moving in just down the road?

I prefer to think of it as healthy competition :ok:

KRK w19 past Jan now live
 

Obvs some reason be it error or other related item but KRK flights past 29 Jan to the end of W19 (end March) now live and bookable on Ryanair site - so no dropped flights - just real ones taking off and landing and not 'rumoured' ;)

Excellent news

Hopefully more flights will be added to FR’s winter BOH programme as currently the utilisation of the single based aircraft is low

I don't think Ryanair will add any additional flights for the winter but the aircraft utilisation is probably not as good as it could be because some of the destinations are operated from oversea bases i.e. Malaga and Faro in the winter

Fueteventura would be a good winter addition again as proved popular many years ago , not sure why it was dropped

No logical explanation for Ryanair’s route withdrawals given the massive amount of people still traveling to and from Fuerteventura from the core BOH catchment but traveling from LGW LTN STN BRS and even BHX

How do u know this?

2016 CAA origin and destination leakage data

Bournemouth handled 40 , 298 down 3 % , due mainly to the snow and diversions out of the airport

Ryanair started some of their seasonal routes again like PMI , GRO and MJV with loads of about 120 pax , this should obviously start to increase next month , while the rest of there routes averaged about 88 % loads

TUI as per normal went out about 97 % full with the last of the Barbados flights went out with 272 pax on a TUI 787 , the next flight goes out in November

Easy jet saw a few cancellations due weather and 7716 passengers used the route , averaging 161 pax per flight

Not bad considering that SOU saw a 6.5% reduction and Exeter 5.7% reduction. It seems that quite a few UK regional airports all stuttered a little in March.

Bournemouth only lost about 1 , 200 passengers which was probably the 7 cancelled and diverted flights due to snow

Hays travel have sold out on there Barbados cruise charter for next Jan , using TUI 787 , only went on sale 5 months ago . This still leaves 3 Barbados P & O flights which are also selling well
Titan are now operating the Iceland charters for Super break holidays instead of Enter Air along with the flights to Ivalo ( " Santas Lapland " 3 flights )
Possible they may also operate the Funchal flight instead of Enter Air which may have been to large to try and sell all the seats

A rather nice advertising agencies dream ''weekly schedules to MCO and BGI'' from Bournemouth

the few annual P&O using TUI Caribbean cruise charters do sell out quickly but 2 summers ago the Cunard Med charters (Titan) did not perform well hence Cunard no longer feature BOH on their fly/cruises

I agree that in high season I think any one-off or a small series to MCO JFK or Carribean trips direct from BOH would sell well (as did Xmas NYC shopping trips a few years back) but as for regular flights on a weekly basis the risk is enormous and no one would do that right now with almost if not daily LHR and LGW flights in strength and operating split loads such as LGW-BOH-MCO for instance are not popular with pax and can be fraught with Ops difficulties

A small series of flights in the summer by TUI to Orlando in July / Aug would be the best starter to test the market , although this was done back in 1996 / 97 with Britannia using a 767 200 via Bangor and Leisure 767 300 . Flights went out full but never became permanent .
TUI would probably have tried this before now if they thought there was a market , they know where their customer base is
Bristol is obviously doing well but that only started because of the 787 capabilities , who knows perhaps they may have a re think again

And this is why it is pie in the sky thinking yet again on the BOH thread. If the flight is once per week, which it would be, that would tie up a 787 for 9 days out of 365 days. What is the plan for the other 356 days of the year? I'm not suggesting a whole aircraft be allocated to BOH, I'm more suggesting that in the middle of a busy summer season, why would they give one of their largest aircraft to operate to BOH when it could be used anywhere else where it is cheaper, and a safer market.

Oooh! Florida in Hurricane season........can't wait for those Markey!

the uk summer school hols is the high season for our Florida market - hurricanes or not

That gives me two good reasons for not going at that time!:)
