Bournemouth
Airport
Bournemouth Airport (IATA: BOH, ICAO: EGHH) (previously
known as Hurn Airport) is an airport about 5 miles (8km)
north east of Bournemouth, in southern England. Until
recently charter services made up the bulk of the airport's
commercial airliner movements, however scheduled services
now dominate. Scheduled flights from the airport frequently
serve Cyprus, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland,
Portugal, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey; charter and seasonal
flights serve other countries such as the Dominican
Republic. Passengers handled in 2007 rose by 13% to
1,083,379 which was the first time passenger numbers
passed the 1 million mark (source CAA stats). As of
August 2008, Ryanair and Thomsonfly remain the primary
users of the airport. Bournemouth Airport has a CAA
Public Use Aerodrome Licence (Number P736) that allows
flights for the public transport of passengers or for
flying instruction.
