Learn more about hotels in Bournemouth Airport

Bournemouth Airport, formerly known as Hurn Airport and Bournemouth International Airport, has been serving the travel needs of this quaint corner of England since its initiation as RAF Hurn in 1941. Taking on its role as a civil airport just three years later, it even briefly served as London’s international airport until 1946. Steeped in such significant narratives, the airport is not just a transport hub but an emblem of the region's history.

While the airport’s commercial services took to the skies in the late 1950s, its contemporary role is defined by primary airport users Ryanair and TUI Airways. With a diverse roster of charter flights, scheduled seasonal services whisk journeysome souls to locations across Western Europe, North Africa, North America, and the Caribbean. Despite the dip in passenger traffic to around 803,000 in 2019, and a further drop in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bournemouth Airport remains an integral part of the local and global travel network.

Acquired by Regional & City Airports in December 2017, the airport’s accessibility is a notable feature. Whether you’re arriving from the east via the M27 and M3 or from the west via the A35, the airport is conveniently located. It also hosts a bustling industrial park, including modern offices and hangars, symbolising progress and innovation amidst the echoes of history.

Today this historic airport continues to evolve. Alongside regular services from airlines including Ryanair, TUI Airways, easyJet, Blue Islands, Loganair, and Eastern Airways, there’s continued redevelopment of the northern aviation sector ensuring Bournemouth Airport retains its character while adapting for future growth.

When to visit Bournemouth Airport

When is the best time to utilise Bournemouth Airport? Unsurprisingly, the warm-weather seasons from late June to early September are most popular for holidaymakers. With July averaging high temperatures of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, it's the ideal time to fly off on a sunny adventure.

However, the airport isn't just a summer escape route. The spring and autumn months from April to October tend to be the clearest, making it an excellent time for a city break to chase the changing seasons. The winter months from October to February may see a fair bit of drizzle; however, it's an ideal time for those seeking the winter sun or snow-topped ski holidays.

Unlike traditional seasonal destinations, Bournemouth Airport offers year-round getaway opportunities. With a destination for every season and a departure for every desire, the airport continues to play a crucial role in the UK's vibrant travel panorama.
