Why have Jet2 flights been using different aircraft on their flights?

Belfast flight is delayed until 3pm at the moment, will try and find out why!

BOH

BOH, who are you!?

I think there is a tech problem with the B733.

Girona was also very late...

loveJet, why you ask?

do you work at the airport?!

you obviously have a pulse on the action here, so i just wondered :ok:

Oh I wish I did :)

Im just a Sixth Former unfortunatly :( Using my contacts to the full :p Oh the Joys on the net! hehe

To go a bit off topic, Does anybody here work at ATC at BOH??Because Ive got a weeks Work Experience there in July :D hehe

Hope you guys dont mind me using the forum :O

BOH:D

Realise its early days but do you have any info on how the BFS service is performing in terms of loads - notice Jet 2 were giving away free night club entry which might suggest loads are falling short of initial expectations. Also see frequency reducing to 4X weekly from 30 August.

loads are good, about 50% so far. Reckon April will be better and forward bookings looking encouraging.

BOH - a lot of atc at Bournemouth do keep an eye on this site,been wondering who keeps posting stuff. We'll see you in July- know who you are now.

Obviously atc are pleased with Thomson and jet2 starting up,we also expect the third Thomson 737 in July/Aug. Allthough this greatly increases pax numbers and subsequently work for everyone in handling,terminal staff etc it doesn't radically alter the overall number of aircraft we handle which is around 85000 a year. Large proportion of these are instrument traning or ppl movements though.

I think the initial Jet2 loads have been dissappointing but then it does take time to build up a service. The fact that Jet2 are reducing frequency down to 4 weekly on 30th August 05 rather than cutting the route completely must show they have faith in the route and/or forward bookings are reasonable (as mentioned by LoveJet)...anyone agree?

Does the weak start to Belfast for Jet2 make the chance of further Jet2 services from BOH less likely do you think? (I think the airport definitely needs a link to Edinburgh)

Phil,

I would wonder how viable any domestic route is which can't sustain at least one daily rotation - except for some of the LCY shuttles, which have weekend restrictions.

BOH is an important destination, but SOU remains the geographic centre of the Solent, with BHD also being much closer to Belfast.

With less seats to occupy on their Q400s / RJs, I would imagine that BE would have BFS & EDI pretty well sown up, and I just can't see Jet2 reducing costs to the extent that FR would at PIK, where they have a very attractive agreement.

Not sure about the business/leisure or in/out splits on Solent <> NI, but would imagine the demographics on this route might favour SOU, whereas BOH can still offer a great range of holiday destinations at keen prices, many of which would be out of range of a Q400 / SOU's runway anyway.

Think the Bournemouth to Manchester would have been a better choice than Belfast with Jet2 as once rumoured.

Does any airline do a low fare cost to Cyprus.

Has anybody seen the long stay Car Park at Bournemouth

They have made a new gate at the rear and Cars now parking in the Field behind. Surely that shows theres a demand for the flights at Bournemouth.

So nothing has changed since the last time I was at Bournemouth when I found my car marooned in the middle of a lake after it had rained. :sad: :( :{

I would imagine Jet 2 will flog the BFS for as long as they can and dropping it will be a last resort particularly after the embarassment of BFS - ORK being scrapped before it even got off the ground.

At he risk of sounding sad has anyone got any pictures of the Tfly 73s at BOH, i've tried !!!!!!!!!!!!!! but no luck. How strong is the rumour of a third Tfy aircraft this year? How far is the staff car park from the terminal (got to be better than the 10 min bus drive over speed bumps at LGW!!!)

With the amount of rumours going around about it, I would say fairly likely, especially with the good load their getting at the moment bound to rise about that time for the summer holiday rush!

Search for Bournemouth and select either 'Bournemouth Airport Movements' or Bournemouth Aircraft Movements 2', theres 2 photo's on their last time I looked, not very good but there at bournemouth!

Talking of the Staff Car Park, does anybody know when I go for work experience with ATC where I should park my car if I drive across??

Cheers

BOH :)

If you do a normal photo search for Bournemouth on !!!!!!!!!!!!!! now, there are a few pics of Thomsonfly.com and Jet2.com:ok:

BOH, you will need to park in the staff car park and you will be escorted to ATC. No-one is allowed to drive across the airside part of the airport unless you have an airside driving pass! D'oh!

eurostar builder -

Helios do low-cost to Cyprus. Daily from Luton, lower frequencies elsewhere.

Have Thomsonfly been having tech probs with G-THOE in the last few days? I see they have been using a B735 G-THOA and the new B733 (G-THOG) for some services at Bournemouth. Or is it just the normal moving round of aircraft that airlines do!
