Further to mondays report. The rumours from Bournemouth are that FR are to operate twice daily Boh - Man - Dub. Anyone know if this is so? Plus Fr are considering several other routes as well.

I haven't heard anything about these lines but it is unlikely. BOH may in the future be picked as a base but seeing as flights from both BOH and MAN have excellent load factors, there is no reason for a stop.

Well Manchester own Bournemouth so anything could be possible. Probably see Ryanair at East Mids now that Manch own this airport as well?

I think we will see Ryanair at EMA but for a different reason:. .FR will not allow any low fares airline to enter the UK - Dublin market and BMIbaby's announcement of starting DUB - EMA services should result in them receiving the same treatment as Go.. .So we will soon see FR B737-200's gracing the apron of EMA I suspect.

Anyone from FR know how the booking levels are on the Bournemouth - FFT route? Same route from Southampton only generates 1400 PAX per month. FR are using B738 on route giving capacity of around 11000+. FR may need to discount to fill the seats.

The very fact that FR are a LOW COST AIRLINE encourages people to fly with them. Not only those previously flying British Airways SOU - FRA but also people who may not have considered flying to the south rather than London before. This route will be a total success! And by the way Frankfurt airport codes are:. .FRA - Frankfurt Main. .HHN - Frankfurt (Hahn) (which FR uses)

Hahn = Frankfurt? Don't make me laugh... wouldn't even carry it as an alternate for Frankfurt Main; far better with Cologne,almost the same distance and at least there's some surface transport infrastructure to get your punters where they really want to go.

Your company-loyal defence is laudable, Flying Irishman, obviously O'Leary pays a bonus for turd-polishing.
