I can't see there being sufficient demand for direct JER-IOM-JER flights; SI currently has a partnership in place with LM that allows for customers to buy a single through-ticket that offers 'seamless connections', so surely developing a strong network of one-stop journey options via a mainland destination would be a better proposition for both carriers.
For example, SI could consider operating JER-LPL (as LM offers LPL-IOM) or perhaps LM could operate IOM-SOU (as SI offers SOU-JER).
