Yes, a very bad day of frustration for IOM passengers amid a meltdown of Loganair's Island based services. ATR 72-600, G-LMTE operating last night's service to London City, diverted to Birmingham, presumably due to a tech issue, and remained there overnight and all of today. The other Island based ATR 72-600, G-LMTD stayed quiet all morning until eventually heading off to Heathrow at 14:05, a mere hour and thirty five minutes late.
In an attempt to recover their scheduled morning services to Liverpool and Manchester, Loganair brought over two of their Embraer 145 jets, G-SAJC from Derry/Londonderry and G-SAJN from Newcastle.
By the time that this pair reached the Island (11:50 and 12:15 respectively), the 07:00 service to Liverpool, which had been delayed in various increments until 12:00, had been cancelled. As this flight is used each weekday for patient transfer to hospitals in the Liverpool area, it's likely that a good number of passengers will have missed their appointments and accordingly, baled out and returned home.
Eventually, the Embraer jets were dispatched to fulfill the Company's morning services to Manchester (09:30 - departed at 13:06) and Birmingham (11:10 - departed 12:44) and upon return to Ronaldsway, both aircraft returned to where they came from.
Later this afternoon/evening, Loganair cancelled flights to Manchester and London City, leaving their Liverpool evening service as the final act of a miserable day for all concerned.
According to FR24, it looks like the sick ATR at Birmingham will be making its way back to the Island later tonight so hopefully not as bad tomorrow.
