This is a vital route between the island and London and it would be a complete disaster if it were lost. The Embraer 170 would be great I don't understand why BA could not operate two rotations a day then reposition the plane to Belfast , Glasgow or Edinburgh to do a couple of rotations from those airports to LCY before returning to an evening rotation for the Isle of Man.
It is a shame that LM can’t use one of there ER3’s on the route. I know that G-SAJR was previously owned by a airline called Jetmagic, who operated the aircraft between ORK and LCY. Using such a jet would result in a loss of capacity however the 3 x Daily service would be maintained. Flight times would also be faster and the journey more comfortable than the ATR.
