These are low volume niche markets that can barely support one carrier in winter, I remain concerned that flybe2 offer nothing new net new in market.
Are zombie-flybe really saying to Cornwall County Council and the IOM govt who subsidise Eastern and Loganair's ops respectively that there's no need to subsidise at all or that they should choose flybe instead?
The reason why LHR-IOM is niche is because the fares are so high
