According to the Isle of Man on-line easyJet are in discussions regarding possible services to the Island:

How might this affect Euromanx?
I would have thought that traffic to the Island is pretty much a static market. Would cheap routes to the UK and Europe actually generate new business and tourist travellers? Delightful place the Isle of Man may be but it is hardly a fashionable holiday destination these days. The modern tourist wants continental culture and sunshine !
To compete with Euromanx easyJet might have to concentrate on services to the UK before risking new routes to destinations previously not available from the Island. Low cost fares demand a pretty full aircraft. It might be difficult to fill a B737 on some business routes
Granted, of course, that Manx people would certainly enjoy cheaper travel.
So, are we going to see a head to head between easyJet and Euromanx?
