Bournemouth Airport

Re #96 above reporting a new Bournemouth-Edinburgh route at 2 x weekly for this summer, I note that there is now a similar 2 x weekly route between Bournemouth and Belfast International. I stand to be corrected but I wasn't aware that easyJet previously flew between Bournemouth and Belfast.

I was aware of the ski season Bournemouth-Geneva route that has operated for a number of years in the season.

Decided to put this in the Bournemouth thread as the airline HQ is apparently here.

UK's European Cargo secures AOC, targets US ops

European Cargo (SE, Bournemouth) has completed its AOC certification drive with the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and is now planning to start charter flights to the United...

www.ch-aviation.com

European Cargo did not disclose any potential routings other than to say the cargo flights from the UK to the US would cover the transport of cargo and mail. It also asked for its application to be treated expeditiously as it wants to start its flights as soon as possible.

I don't know what, if any, the link is with the present owners but Bournemouth-based European Aviation, later called European Aviation Air Charter, operated charters and ACMI services during the 1990s. In their early days they operated Boeing 737-200s and had a connection with Bournemouth-based Bath Travel who operated Palmair with a leased aircraft from European Aviation. I think European also acquired some BAC 1-11s.

European operated weekly charter flights for tour companies from my local airport at Bristol for a number of years in the 1990s. The company ceased to exist in the 'noughties' by which time they had acquired some larger aircraft.

They also had some 747s for a time.

Yes for Hays Travel and P&O Cruises I believe

I tend to let BOH slip off my radar too often. Although on the South Coast Bournemouth is actually in the English South West Government Region albeit these days the regions are primarily for statistical purposes after 'quangos' such as the South West Regional Development Agency ceased to exist a decade ago.

BOH has had a very decent year in the circumstances. It's doing well with cargo flights, primarily it seems carrying Covid equipment.

Passenger-wise it handled 19,416 of them in December a rise of 686.4% on December 2020. Atms were up 190.7%. Its rolling 12-month total was 200,488, an increase of 14% on 2020. This is also its annual total for the calendar year of 2021 and it represents 25.2% of 2019's total, the last pre-pandemic calendar year.

Above figures taken from CAA stats released today.

I actually went to Bournemouth airport for the first time a couple of years ago when Easyjet added some domestic routes when you couldn't easily go abroad because of Covid. So flew from LPL-BOH and a day in Bournemouth and flew back BOH-BFS-LPL, nice day out, sat on the beach !

 

[Jerry]

Haven't been that way for a very long time!

From what I recall there was a very patchy bus service to the city centre. Taxi was really the only option.
