I think there has to be a fairly high level of risk that if IOM/LHR were ever to become a permanent fixture, it would spell the end of at least one other existing IOM/LON service. LGW was down 1,000 pax in July, LCY was down 1,000 pax in August versus last year. The market has grown slightly, but not by the same proportion as the capacity injected. Before there is any excitement about the ongoing viability of IOM/LHR, it merits some consideration of whether it would be a sustainable addition to the IOM network or whether it would displace one of the other links - LCY likely being the one most at risk.
