Absolute b....s. If the locos were going to come to IOM they would have done so years ago. The existing operators cannot fill 50 seaters so what would you do with a 130 seat 737. As Hansol says, the numbers just do not exist. And where would easy fly to? LPL on a 73 - economic madness; LTN - BA can't half fill their RJ. No, its wishful thinking by the fairies again. The Manx still believe in this myth that the rest of the world is flying around on £5 fares. Some lucky individuals are but there are also people on the same plane paying £300.
The locals are always moaning about fares but you can get to LPL for £32 return (probably about the same as putting fuel in the tank if you were to drive it) and MAN for £45 return. There is a price to pay for living in the middle of the Irish Sea.
No - pie in the sky, IMHO. Easy cannot be that desperate but perhaps the airport authority is. As for the government, it doesn't know its rear end from its elbow as far as transport policy is concerned.
