You are right of course if the frequency was to go down to 2x daily. The question for me is if a LCY-based aircraft would result in a business case for keeping the route or if it would simply mean the end of the route if it can no longer be operated with a smaller, IOM-based 50 seater. The flight times are probably not that big an issue, given the slightly higher speed of the jet on a short route like that. So we we would probably look at an arrival into LCY at 09:30ish instead of 08:25 right now. Not ideal, but probably still acceptable. But would there be any demand for a 06:30ish departure (instead of 09:00) from LCY to IOM?
