Bournemouth-5

" It's worth remembering that this was published in 2007 by MAG and there's no indication it was updated. It is therefore 17 years old now."

exactly -we've had financial melt down, BREXIT and Covid since - its not a reliable guide

[MidlandsWanderer]

And different owners. Until they publish THEIR plan all the rest is just interesting history.

[Knife-Edge]

At some point in the future the fire station and the tower could get relocated in order to extend the western apron. If both Jet2 and Ryanair grow the number of based aircraft this may eventually become necessary. Most logically the tower and fire station would go to the north side. Perhaps one day (by 2030 at a guess).

[SWBKCB]

There is no need for planning applications as the original terminal plans and building allowed for continuous and controlled development when needed
The original terminal was built around 2010 but no expansion was ever needed until this year



Isn't this a key point - can anybody confirm? Seems a but surprising to me, but I know nothing about such planning matters

[FrequentlyFlying]

It seems that the hysterical and exaggerated comments, usually associated with the airport down the roads page, have seen a take over here, on what is a fantastic achievement by Rigby and the airport management to grow the routes and operators and seemingly keep these large companies happy. As has been said, don’t think for one minute, these large operators, or the shrewd team in charge, haven’t agreed and detailed the plan that allows this expansion.
As for a bus, yes it’s the missing link 110%, but one of the two operators in the BCP area collapsed leaving just one, it would be their decision on routes, sadly not the airport, but with this news now it finally may very soon be financially viable for a Christchurch, Pokesdown, Bournemouth loop express loop service.

[rog747]

Could BOH next summer actually park, and turnaround 6 or possibly 7 x 737-800's on the ramp at any one time ?
Can they actually accommodate that now >?
TIA.

I do not feel there have been that many hysterical and exaggerated comments here on the BOH thread.
OK, possibly one or two very over enthusiastic planespotter ones (lol) but on the whole it's a reasonably cordial debate.

It's all pretty good news for the Airport.
RCA now need to ensure that Ground Handling of all areas and aspects will be on full strength to meet the peaks next summer, and Jet2's arrival now puts TUI Holidays very much 'on point'.

The local Travel Agents that I have spoken to are all very excited in my area and they tell me that they have at last, got ''something different'' to sell to the customers.
Demand for holidays is strong despite the Economy, we live in a pretty affluent region, and many folk will now no longer have to go up to BRS or LGW.

As for a local Bus Service from Bournemouth Town Centre and the Interchange...
TBH and IMO I really do not think that most TUI and Jet2 Holidays passengers would be interested in lugging their bags onto a Bus for the airport, chugging through the back streets of town...
Most get dropped off, take a Taxi, or park their car and seem happy to do so.
The Drop Off Fee (Ok, we don't like it) does help towards the Airport's costs, and the Car Park charges also do.
BOH Airport do offer discounts to prepay for your Parking.
The local Taxi firms get plenty of work.
Thus, frankly I cannot see a better bus link working for that many folk - But it could help some of the Airport Staff....
What does need to be improved are the access roads if coming from the A31 and the A338 in due course.

If I use the airport I get dropped off, or take a Taxi, as do all my friends and family.



Locally, EXT Exeter Airport is weak, with only TUI offering 'mirror image Packages' flying from there, with only one based 737 with no planned growth expected (TUI at EXT was to have increased to two aircraft pre-Pandemic).
Exeter are possibly at their lowest point in decades in offering Package Holidays.
Ryanair are flexing their muscles there however, as they are too from NQY Newquay.
Ryanair are very much prevalent now in the South and Southwest, at BOH, BRS, EXT and now NQY.

[rog747]

Easyjet have just responded to Jet2 Holidays news of their new base at BOH....

Latest news is that Easyjet just announced a 2 aircraft base at SOU Southampton from Summer 2025 with similar current route offerings and to include Manchester, Jersey, Corfu and Lanzarote - yay! at last something new for SOU.

[Boebus_1]

This move is extremely unlikely by 2040 to be honest.

Before any need of demolition, I believe cargo will be moved north side & remote commercial aprons will be used on taxiway Bravo.

[shamrock7seal]

Cargo needs to be relocated north. Although they are doing a sterling job, massive 18-wheeler trucks seem to be interacting across the passenger terminal area. A few times now I’ve seen boarding paused for flights as these trucks navigate the apron to get out through the check-point. Dangerous in my opinion.

But as much as I’d love to see that old channel express cargo shed pulled down, I believe it’s a listed building!!

[dixi188]

Best option for more stands would be to the north of the terminal around the corner where the ground training and carpark 3 are. There is room for at least 4 more stands for 737 size aircraft. ISTR there was a drawing for that when the new terminal was proposed.The security point for airside access could move to near the cargo shed.
Cargo shed I believe is listed as that is where Winston Churchill's aircraft was hangared., but it is only a T2 hangar and there are plenty of those around.
Back in the 1960s there was a proposal for a terminal where the main carpark is. It was to have a finger on the apron with north and south facing stands a bit like Gatwick in the early 60s..

[mrshubigbus]

There’s plenty of space on the existing apron. Six covered walkway stands on the Eastern apron and five additional stands on the West apron. It’s a very easy task to move aircraft onto and off Eastern apron stands as required. The six or even eight possible morning departures won’t all take off at once. There will be at least a 30-45 minute period as aircraft push back off their overnight stands freeing up space for aircraft overnighted on the West apron which can be tugged across to the terminal side!!! The listed hangar won’t need demolishing nor will space around the corner be needed. Why the need to move the fire station and tower?

Just a potential option for considering at some point. The key point is there is room to expand the number of stands significantly should the need ever arise. Note if there was the odd 787 in for Caribbean or other long haul charters that would take up two regular (737) stands and make things a lot tighter on the eastern apron, especially once Jet2 expand.
I believe it would be easier operationally to bus passengers across to the western apron and just treat them as remote stands. Moving aircraft around on a just in time basis is a bit more involved.

Further to my post here re EXT Exeter the other day:
''Locally, EXT Exeter Airport is weak, with only TUI offering 'mirror image Packages' flying from there, with only one based 737 with no planned growth expected (TUI at EXT was to have increased to two aircraft pre-Pandemic).
Exeter are possibly at their lowest point in decades in offering Package Holidays.''


Latest news today is: EXT to gain a second based TUI aircraft.

From Travel Weekly this morning:

TUI to add a second based 737 at EXT to the Summer 2025 programme
“The airport gains a new route to Ibiza, plus year-round flying to Tenerife and Lanzarote.
Antalya, Heraklion, Paphos and Rhodes will now operate twice a week, giving Exeter passengers the opportunity to book 10- and 11-night holidays.”
This is rather good news for Exeter gaining an extra TUI based aircraft, providing an extra 80,000 seats from the Southwest airport.
There will be also be additional TUI seats from Bournemouth, where rival Jet2 and Jet2holidays is creating a new base next summer, with exclusive TUI routes to Kefalonia and Paphos.
We see Rhodes, Heraklion, Corfu and Mahon will all be served twice a week with TUI from BOH.

[shamrock7seal]

TUI increase seats from BOH in 2025

+15,000 seats over summer 2024
Paphos will get a second flight per week
Kefalonia will get a second flight per week

Good news - their programme is strong for 2025

[ShedDriver]

Looks like Maersk have now switched their previously twice-weekly flights to Birmingham. Blue City are reporting on LinkedIn that there will be three flights a week from Hangzhou (via tech stops at Navoi and Billund as before)

BUT Bournemouth Airport isn't starting from "Little acorns"!

Bournemouth Airport is an established airport with an existing terminal. Very unlike the photo of "London Airport" which you have provided, which was probably taken in 1946. The photo and "little acorns" reference has absolutely nothing to do with Bournemouth Airport.

I was replying to a post from LTNman (members/55431-ltnman)who has a sense of humour, something that you seem to singularly lack!

[Sotonsean]

Your post wasn't directed towards LTNman. Your reply didn't reference LTNman.

You made a post with absolutely no reference to who you were replying to.

Hence my post.

A photo of the tent at Luton Airport from 1973 would have been a better option.

As much as it was an immature comment to make, I can absolutely assure you that I do have a sense of humour. A good one at that. If you're post was supposed to be humorous, I got news for you, it wasn't.

[SWBKCB]

Yes - be assured that SotonSean has funny bones! :ok:

[Irishshamrock]

Has the fuel farm relocated?

I’ve noticed car-parking seems to have appeared where the old fuel farm was located.

Car parking has also been extended to the ‘Jets’ and Embraer service centre apron too which seems to me to indicate an imminent relocation of those two companies.

Can anyone confirm?

[Stevooo]

Jets (Embrear service centre) were wound up and closed down end of last year.

[Dropoffcharge]

I'd imagine BOH are frantically trying to create as much available parking as possible, with the Jet2 news, plus potential 3rd Ryanair for next summer, parking will be very tight, they must have been near capacity last summer.

Anyone know if they could expand into the first field on the right, opposite the school entrance? Talking of the school, it now seems even more of a ridiculous idea to have put it there in the first place, airport seems to only be getting busier now, surely not ideal for a school to have that on its doorstep.

[MARKEYD]

Could a multi storey car park be built in time for next summer on any land available or would it have to go to planning first ?
I have no idea how this works but before the Luton Airport debacle something like that could have been built ( cheaper metal frame style ? )

Otherwise the car parks need a serious makeover, I don’t think people are to happy about wading through floods , gravel and mud to get to the terminal

I believe before the ATC centre was changed into a school it was mooted that plans had been put in place to be a hotel along the Premier Inn style , however the passenger loads going through the terminal never justified that

[Captain Cargo]

I've never seen anyone get so upset about a post. I suggest you give all a rest by joining the Soton Airport group as your name suggests or is that just your sense of humour?

The subject of the car parking is an interesting one, and one I'd thoroughly recommend researching by typing the terms "Bournemouth Airport" and "Malmesbury Estate" into your search engine of choice and getting reading. The land that the car parking is mostly on is not owned by the airport, it's owned by, you guessed it, The Malmesbury Estate. It was leased for several periods, the most recent lease being in 2000 and for 25 years. The lease was for a paltry £9,000 per year as the land was not strictly speaking needed at the time of the lease.

Lord Malmesbury felt the land should have been leased on a turnover basis, that is too say that the Estate got a cut of the money generated from the car park. The Estate felt they should get 80% of all car parking revenue. The person who negotiated the lease with BIA felt there was no chance of the airport entertaining such a thing and to try and pursue it would sour relations and cause long term damage to the Estate. Additionally, at the time there was no way to accurately audit the car park turnover - this was still in the days when you got a voucher for car parking as part of the package holiday. So, in the end he negotiated the lease for £9,000 per year.

When things took off at the airport somewhat the Estate decided to sue their representative, claiming he was negligent not to negotiate a turnover lease, and a fascinating legal case ensued. In the end, the Estate won damages of about £1m representing an assessed loss of income. They had claimed £85+ million in damages. The legal costs also ran to about £5m. Crazy figures really.

So the point of all this is that the airport has to negotiate a new lease soon. It is going to cost them a lot of money, the Estate will be looking for a minimum of a 10% cut of the car parking charges. But they will know this is coming and will be on the case already. Incidentally, the works the airport carried out to create the car park are not refundable on the end of the lease and become Malmesbury's property. They have a couple of options. They can get a new lease and carry on as before but with likely less income. They can try to use other airport land instead, possibly requiring buses (the use of buses was assessed as costing around £1m per year in the legal case). In the airport's favour is the fact that the access road to the car park is airport property. In the event that they fell out they can prohibit access to the fields from airport land, making the land almost useless.

The Malmesbury Estate have been lobbying for some time to lift the green belt status of the car park land and the adjoining land. They wish to develop it. They had previously hoped to install a hotel, business units and petrol station on the site. This has been firmly rejected so far. I think it was their hope that the car parking could provide a crack to enable the planning restrictions to be removed. So far this has not happened.

On the subject of the playing field opposite the school, the school actually put in a planning application for this field to be used as a school playing field. But even this was refused by the council. It is my opinion that getting planning approval for any kind of construction on this land would be very unlikely in the near to medium term given the council planning guidance.

[Sharklet_321]

If the airport spend £1m on shuttle bussing passengers to their cars in distant car-parks within their boundary, instead of spending half that on a shuttle service to the train station then I can’t take them seriously n any of their environmental targets.

BOH will require at least double the car-parking land currently in use in 2025/26. Where will it come from if they don’t get permission for a multi-story?

I do admire your candor about folk 'using the trains' and those folk taking a funded shuttle bus from the station....
But,
Have you seen the state of the Railways down here locally ?

SWR are a disgrace, and Network Rail struggle to keep up with simply cutting down trees that seem to constantly fall blocking the lines (In between signal failures, flooding, train faults and oh yes...Strikes, Work to Rule, and staff shortages)
It's a MESS!
The Airport catchment area is not just along the SWR mainline from Weymouth or Southampton.
It's far reaching and those folk have no rail connections.
TUI, Jet2 and Ryanair customers on the whole will get dropped off, or park their car, or come by Taxi to BOH.

The Airport with the fantastic public transport connection is SOU with their own railway station, but they still suffer now from the increasing woes of the Train services.

As MarkeyD says:
An on-Airport Hotel is something for the future, and I agree the state (and capacity) of the Car Parks needs to be addressed PDQ for next summer.
The car parks need a serious makeover, people are not too happy about wading through floods, and dragging your rather nice Samsonite through the gravel and mud to get to the Terminal is not a good look.

Anywho. Any ideas why the KLM/Eastern Embraer E170 G-CMPI came in today? I wanted to restart the KLM rumour as it has done a little UK tour, but it looks to be at the exec base.

Welcome back to the Pprune BOH rumour mill LOL>!

OK, so jumping on the treadmill;
Personally I never knew of any rumours that KLM was ever to start services from BOH to AMS.

The only AMS service from Hurn I can think of was a short-lived attempt by Eurodirect Airlines about 30 years ago (Gosh was it really that long ago lol)
Eurodirect also were rather short-lived too :(

Eurodirect Airlines ATP at AMS (https://www.ruudleeuw.com/rem-eurodirect.htm)

With KLM's strong presence at both SOU and BRS, I'm not sure that flights from BOH to AMS would see much take up?
However, that said,
KLM did increase their SOU flights to 3 x daily, and last year I flew with them from SOU using the superb Interline Connections at AMS for my onward KLM Venice, Cape Town, and Nairobi flights, saving me the slog to/from here in Dorset up to LHR, and I was able to book and pay for my KLM flights using Partner Airline Virgin Atlantic Flying Club reward points.

BOH Bournemouth Airport's expansion IMHO is very much seen as ''Holiday Airport Central''

[Flitefone]

Eastern routinely lease their aircraft to other carriers for extended periods, in recent years that has included TAP, Aurigny - which didn’t go well and was terminated early - and KLM now I believe. Hence the unusual link for this weekend’s football charter from MAN.

Eurodirect operated a BOH/AMS and BOH/BRU schedule for a couple of seasons, I used it several times, always a Jetstream 31. They also served CDG, which I also used several times on the ATP.

TUI operated a BOH/AMS schedule in 2005/6 I think, with the B733, I also used that a few times, on one occasion I flew on a TUI B757 BOH-AMS which replaced a tech 733.

An AMS service from BOH is now highly unlikely, due slot limits at Schiphol, in my view this destination will remain the jewel established in Southampton’s crown.

FF

[SWBKCB]

As has been previously stated, part of Eastern's extensive Premier League programme - nothing to do with KLM, not all their aircraft are on the KLM operation :rolleyes:

[Sharklet_321]

BOH have long tried to target an AMS route due to the ‘apparent’ success of it when TUI and euro direct airlines operated it - it was the highest load factor based route alongside Prestwick. Not necessarily successful on ticket price though. I doubt it will ever be offered again unless the likes of easyJet were to do it.

Was watching flightradar earlier and saw the EZY flight from BFS to SOU holding then divert all the way back to BFS. Was very surprised it didn't come into BOH or even LGW?

[BOHskies]

Was watching flightradar earlier and saw the EZY flight from BFS to SOU holding then divert all the way back to BFS. Was very surprised it didn't come into BOH or even LGW?

I'm guessing... the delay in landing at BOH then waiting for uplift, weather to clear, positioning to SOU, more uplift, then getting back to BFS would potentially put the pilots out of hours stranding them and the aircraft overseas, and would probably be way more expensive than cancelling and paying the compensation. I don't know though.

The usual procedure would look a bit more like this: Land BOH, drop pax, ask HQ nicely to organise a coach or two back to SOU for pax, depart BOH empty back to BFS maintaining the schedule. Half the compensation to pay and only the outbound pax severely inconvenienced. No idea in this instance though, Would love to know if they asked about a divert.

Presuming the diversions were due to weather, no compensation is due. I'd assume the diversion back would be down to not disrupting the schedule. Seems to be becoming standard practice more and more on short flights across airlines.

Perhaps an aircraft tech problem whereby it would have been AOG after landing. Best option for aircraft and crew, RTB?

[Sharklet_321]

Over 45,000 pax handled in February. 964,000 for the rolling 12-months.

Strong increases on Spain, Canaries, Switzerland and Poland.

[shamrock7seal]

Bournemouth to Lyon in February only managed 439 passengers. Not a particularly successful attempt! I believe this route was only ever intended to take temporary pressure off the Geneva route due a lack of slots there on Saturdays.

Good start to the Jet 2 sales moving forward it would seem , they have an incredible support from Hays travel who are really selling the product and being the largest independent travel agency in the south it’s promising for the future

Should expect Ryanair to start loading their winter flights next week although TFS , LPA & ACE already on sale

[Irishshamrock]

Great news. Some of these flights seem to have healthy numbers of them already, over a year in advance. You can certainly expect to see them adding more frequency on some of the best sellers and, perhaps, even bringing in Malaga, Almeria, Larnaca, Izmir & others with a 3rd aircraft. The question is whether BOH has the ability to handle the quite sudden capacity increase.

[ShedDriver]

Iconic Project Management reporting on LinkedIn that they've been appointed to project manage cargo infrastructure improvements:

"Iconic is delighted to announce its appointment to a new aviation project at Bournemouth Airport. This cargo development project will relocate and expand cargo infrastructure in preparation for planned freight and passenger growth over the coming years. The project will be led by our Senior Project Manager, Michael Weeks. Iconic will provide comprehensive project management services, leading the project from inception, through design and construction, to completion and handover to the airport's operational teams."

Iconic Project Management ran the Southampton runway extension project by the way.

The current set up doesn't lend to being scaled up and is definitely in need of improvement. The manoeuvring to get the 340 onto the Bravo apron (it taxies off the runway onto Tango, hooks up to a tug and it's then pushed back across the runway and down Romeo before being pulled up Bravo onto the apron) and the procedure to get the cargo through building 268, the old Channel Express hanger, leaves a lot to be desired for long term sustainability and growth. Will be interesting to see what they plan to do.

Also cargo related, Maersk Air Cargo have applied for a UK AOC and are wet leading some aircraft from Titan so it seems something is in the works (I'm guessing not Bournemouth related though, presumably more flights from Birmingham). Visit archive.ph/jsEFP for more.

[SWBKCB]

Maersk currently operate 767's on EDI-EMA and BFS-EMA with Titan flt numbers - could be related to that?

[ShedDriver]

I think you're right. It must be an arrangement to enable them to operate internally in this country until the AOC is approved. They lease Maersk frames to Titan, to operate on behalf of Maersk.

I also forgot to mention earlier that Cargo First put out a note a few days ago saying they had 737F capacity at Bournemouth. Not sure what that's about.

[Flitefone]

´Iconic Project Management reporting on LinkedIn that they've been appointed to project manage cargo infrastructure improvements’

All going northside, both the cargo apron and freight shed/warehousing etc. Will free up space by the terminal for expansion of aircraft and/or car parking etc. And will streamline the turnaround of the A340ˋs and aircraft taxying generally. My expectation is that the existing cargo hangar beside the pax terminal will be demolished.

FF

[BOHskies]

. My expectation is that the existing cargo hangar beside the pax terminal will be demolished.

I'm sure I've read that hanger is listed (goodness knows why) hence it's still there, so probably won't be demolished,

[Sotonsean]

I'm sure I've read that hanger is listed (goodness knows why) hence it's still there, so probably won't be demolished,

It's been mentioned several times on this thread that the cargo hanger is listed.

Having looked at the councils website it's not under the category of listed buildings. Nor is it included under the Historic England archives.

If someone can actually confirm one way or another I think it might clarify the situation regarding any possible demolition.

It's of no real significance and the airport would gain extra apron space if indeed it was demolished.

[Le Tirer]

Ryanair have loaded winter 2024/25 flights onto their app but most are not available for booking yet.

So far the only change from 2023/24 is that this summer's new route to Agadir continues through the winter. and additional Friday flight to Alicante. This means the based aircraft is utilised every day for 2 destinations unlike last winter when it was sat idle on Tuesday and most of Wednesday.

Alicante 5 weekly W, Th, F, Sa, Su
Malaga 3 weekly Tu, W, F
Edinburgh 3 weekly M, F, Sa
Agadir 2 weekly F, Su
Faro 2 weekly F, Su
Krakow 2 weekly M, Sa
Wroclaw 2 weekly Tu, Sa
Malta 2 weekly F, Su
Tenerife South 2 weekly M, Sa
Arrecife 1 weekly Th
Las Palmas 1 weekly M

Apologies I missed the increase on Alicante from 4 to 5 weekly. Updated having seen MarkyD posting on Facebook.

[Le Tirer]

It looks to me like the full TOM summer schedule requires an aircraft swap every Tuesday when it kicks in at the end of May.

Currently the one based aircraft operates the morning Palma flight and then the Tenerife South flight departing at 15:25 arriving at TFS at 19:30. The return flight departs 20:30 for a 00:25 arrival at BOH.

The Kefalonia and Rhodes flights start 28/5 when the second based aircraft has arrived. The Palma aircraft will then switch to operating to Kefalonia in the afternoon while the second aircraft will be on the morning departure to Rhodes returning at 15:30. It then departs to TFS at 16:30 arriving at 20:35. However the return flight leaves TFS before this aircraft has arrived! Departing at 18:40 for a 22:35 arrival at BOH.
