That is a huge assumption in itself. The IOM Government have done nothing apart from closing the borders. Full stop. That is not dealing with the virus, that is running from it. There are parts of the UK that have infection rates comparable to those in the IOM. I fully expect that if such an attitude continues within the government, businesses will continue to leave for the simple reason that businesses need to conduct business on a daily basis, both on and off the IOM. That in itself is not a compelling scenario for any airline. By the way, the current population is about 83,000 and falling.
