YELLOW Buses says its new contract to run a shuttle bus for Bournemouth Airport is off to a flying start.

The company landed a deal with owner the Manchester Airports Group to run an hourly service from 7am to 7pm seven days a week.

The buses link the Aviation Business Park and Hurn with Bournemouth town centre and main hubs in the Yellow Buses network.

Paul Knight, managing director of Bournemouth Airport, said: “We are delighted to welcome Yellow Buses to the Airport. As well as providing a real benefit for our passengers, this new service will also be a boost for those working on the business park and the residents of Hurn village.”

Yellow buses is running a dedicated single-decker on the service, initially using its eye-catching Jubilee liveried bus. The bus, with leather seats and wood effect floors, was a popular attraction on the roads during last year’s Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
