Bournemouth Airport offers flights to more than 60 destinations – mostly leisure, holiday and city break destinations throughout Europe as well as transatlantic flights to serve the winter fly-cruise market. Six low-cost airlines operate from Bournemouth – Ryanair, Thomsonfly, easyJet, Air Berlin, WizzAir and Flyglobespan. The airport served more than 917,000 passengers during 2006.
In December 2006, Bournemouth Airport announced a £32 million investment in a major redevelopment programme. The redevelopment will be phased over the next four to five years. The first phase of the terminal redevelopment will focus on the construction of a new international arrivals hall, together with new departure lounges with improved catering and retail facilities for departing passengers. Investment in airport operations will also provide new mains sewers, new drainage system and utilities, and improvements to the airfield. During the redevelopment, special measures will be taken to prevent harm to protected plant and animal species that inhabit the adjoining ecologically sensitive areas.
