Just as you say! I had a meeting the other year re a service to London and other flights, with the Ann Reynolds and the then head of the Manx CAA.
To operate a service based in the IOM with a Avro RJ, it could be funded with putting a charge on all the Bizjet regestrations and plilot validations, plus the 1/2 million they hand out for the hospital contract, they could have a service.
They were not interested at all, as City Flyer aka Eastern would be the savior!
