About Bournemouth Airport
Bournemouth Airport is an international airport serving Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and the wider Dorset region. Originally opened as RAF Hurn on 1 August 1941, the airfield served as Britain's main international airport in the years immediately after the Second World War before developing into the region's principal commercial airport.
The airport is located near Hurn, approximately 8 km north-northeast of central Bournemouth and close to Christchurch. A single passenger terminal handles domestic and international flights, with airlines including Jet2, TUI, Ryanair and easyJet offering services to destinations across Europe and North Africa.
A recent investment programme has delivered a new arrivals and immigration hall, an increase in check-in desk capacity and improvements to the outbound baggage system, supporting smoother passenger flow through the terminal.
Bournemouth Airport is connected to the town centre and surrounding area by bus, taxi, private transfer and car rental, with road links providing access to Poole, the New Forest and the Dorset coast.
