## Description

Bournemouth Airport (BOH, ICAO EGHH) in Dorset handled 37,042 tonnes of cargo in the year to 31 March 2026, up 21 per cent, making it one of the few UK regional airports with a freight business of its own. That business began as an NHS import lifeline during the pandemic and now trades as Cargo First, the airport's in-house handling arm, which has been investing in additional warehouse capacity. The freighter side suffered a setback: locally based European Cargo, operating converted Airbus A340-600s, flew its last revenue service on 19 May 2026 and went into administration on 3 June 2026 with around 178 redundancies, ending the Chengdu e-commerce link opened in 2023. Handling, customs clearance and road feeder connections at the field continue regardless. Passenger traffic reached 1,395,783 in the same financial year, a 26 per cent rise driven by the first full year of Jet2 flying 16 routes alongside Ryanair. For intercontinental volumes London Heathrow (LHR) is the nearest major gateway, with Southampton (SOU) about 40 km east via the A31 and M27.
