Sorry, I fast skim read it in a meeting and missed the last phrase. What very good news it all is. Here is some more detail: The new services will initially be offered as a daily flight (except Saturdays) before gearing up to two flights each weekday from Tuesday, May 3. From that date, the new schedule of morning and evening flights will offer a day-return capability in each direction, plus a flight in each direction on Sunday evenings.
The service between Isle of Man and London Heathrow will commence from Tuesday, May 3, with a daily service designed to offer connections with Loganair’s major partner airlines including British Airways to a wide range of destinations worldwide, including key points in Europe, North America and South Africa.
Both the London City and Heathrow routes will be flown under Loganair’s codeshare agreement with British Airways so Avios and Tier Points can be earned on them.
Tickets for the new flights will go on sale next week.
These flights have been facilitated after considerable efforts by three IOM Government departments - the Dept of Infrastructure (which runs the IOM Airport), the Department of Enterprise (who led on this) and of course Treasury (for obvious monetary reasons!).
