A 34 extra seats won't make up for the 136 seats on Loganair but I can understand that Manx2 don't have the pulling power like the Flybe website.
I think Loganair have done a good thing for Manx2 and Blackpool - they have either created new traffic or brought in passengers from Manchester and Liverpool who have now realised that Blackpool is easier for them than the other two mentioned.
Good to seat a route that is doing well in the current climate.
