June 2019 Passenger Numbers
 

The June figures have been published at last with a total of 89,200 passengers up 19% on 2018 (74870).

Unfortunately, despite the CAA claim that 'June tables are now complete', any sort comparison with 2018 by destination is fairly meaningless as the Route Analysis tables are a whopping 9,829 passengers short. It is anybody's guess where these missing numbers should be but from past experience it could well be the TUI routes again.

LT

Does in fact look like something is very wrong with the TUI numbers. All of the routes (apart from the Turkish ones) looks to be about 50% under-reported. They can't all be 50% declines on last year. This must be the data discrepancy.

BOH June passengers as reported above 89,200 versus 74,870 up 19%.

Positives

Paphos 3,941 +164%
Alicante 5,723 +1%
Malta 2,782 - no change. Positive result considering EXT-MLA route in competition

Negatives

All other routes are showing significant negatives which simply cannot be correct given the overall growth.

Naples 0 -100%
Corfu 930 -50% (surely this is not correct)
Ibiza 739 -49% (ditto)
Mahon 767 -48% (ditto)
Lanzarote 1,484 -46% (ditto)
Rhodes 1,110 -40% (ditto)
Las Palmas 2,442 -25%
Dalaman 1,368 -21%
Krakow 2,917 -9%
Malaga 8,671 -6% (affect of Ryanair EXT-AGP?)
Murcia -5%
Faro 5,795 -5%
Girona 5,975 -5%
Tenerife 2,782 -4%
Palma 15,059 -2% (TUI numbers are not correct in this mix, was expecting PMI to show positive growth due additional flight per week by Ryanair)

New

Dublin 5,209
Heraklion 1,094
Kafalonia 742
Antalya 1,303
Prague 2,630
Jersey 253 (pathetic!)
Guernsey 58 (laughably low)

Total new routes: 10,978 still leaving 3,352 pax unaccounted for (can't be football or other one off charters which I estimate to not be more than 500-600)

I make it the same

I think its definitely the TUI figures are well out and have been for ages now
As regards Ryanair and Palma this month there is a big increase of an extra 2500 pax due to the extra flight and i believe if the TUI figures are adjusted there should have been approx 17, 500 pax use the Palma route in June

I wish BOH would bring Wizzair back. We need service to Warsaw, Budapest and Bucharest. They seem intent on developing from Doncaster and now Southend complimenting their Luton base so they have a positive mind-set with the UK despite Brexit. Surely the MD at BOH could utilise his past relationship with Wizzair when he was at DSA?

If the services out of BOH then they would not have pulled out.Pax loads don't matter so much but its the yield that counts.The workers over here are going back to their respective countries which will helpno route even the established services from various airports will struggle.We got 30 days or so till we know about Brexit in which way it will go for a deal or no deal.So deal or no deal either way it will affect the migrante workers and the airlines.I was surprised they going to start services from SEN with LTN not far away.

Route expansion may well be easier through non-originating traffic than always trying to get Ryanair to increase their presence, Our area has a lot to offer the tourist from abroad, link this to interesting destinations should produce good load factors and yield. I wish the MD well in his negotiations.

New flights to Reus
 

Be nice if TUI could operate the Friday Heraklion flight to schedule, every week it seems to leave over a hour later than its departure time of 13:25.

Really annoying also that Flight Radar never picks up the Freebird flights to Dalaman and Antalya or the Norwegian flights to Tenerife.

The departure time of 13:25 is on my TUI ticket, not flight radar

Bournemouth passenger figures for July are finally out and it was worth the wait

Figures show 95 , 320 used Bournemouth up a whopping 28 % or just under an extra 21 , 000 passengers from last July

Unfortunately there are no passenger figures at all to compare with last years movements , something very strange going on this year with CAA figures for BOH

Ryanair have started to release summer 2020 routes with Dublin and Krakow continuing as before but on slightly different days and same frequency

Well done BOU!,good management and investment has really paid off!
The airport is certainly becoming THE regional airport of the south coast.

At the moment Ryanair are slowly releasing there programme for summer 2020 which is excactly the same as this year
There are still some destinations to be added like PMI , GRO and PFO and hopefully will see an increase in flights per week like this year , later on this year probably

At the moment TUI have added an extra 3 flights a week to there schedule CFU , REU and ZTH making it there largest summer programme ever from Bournemouth

One other bit of news is that Loganair have taken BOH off there destination list , absolutely no surprise there at all

July traffic details now on CAA Statistics pages (xls file)
 

regarding the website , ryanair will close the Bournemouth-Pafos route the 4th of November !

Paphos flights for Summer 2020 are now showing on the App but not the website although not yet bookable as it says "The flight is sold out". Tuesdays and Saturdays as this year from 31/3 to 24/10. Still waiting for GRO, PMI and LPA.

Ryanair continue to slowly add their Summer 2020 flights. PMI is now on sale for Tuesday and Wednesday, hopefully the rest of the week will be added shortly as there were daily flights this summer. Still no GRO or LPA.

LT

Gro base closed. Flights to Gro are only being done from STN at the moment.If Gro is dropped then perhaps open up another route ,or could add a rotation to a route already announced.Still early days for Ryanair to get all routes sorted.

All the GRO flights this summer (Mon, Wed, Fri ,Sat) were operated by the BOH based aircraft. All of the Summer 2020 flights for the based aircraft have been loaded except for GRO. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Seems there is a Pprune rumour about Jet 2 and BOH.............I know nothing...

GRO
 

You looking at what I posted wrong. The only GRO flights will be STN. No GRO flight,and it wont be added later. I cant say it much more clear than that.GRO dropped and lets hope they add some thing to replace it.

Ryanair Paphos in S20
 

Apparently Lauda are operating from several UK airports to Palma next year on behalf of Ryanair. Not yet clear if this includes BOH but may explain why currently only Tues and Weds flights are on sale.

With Ryanair??

Bournemouth Airport's Facebook page shows: "We're going where the sun shines brightly, we're going where the sea is blue...a new destination route from Bournemouth Airport is unveiled here tomorrow. Find out where, and with what carrier, from 10am Tuesday, 22nd October."

Well according to Cliff Richard, he ended up in Athens.
