Sidestickthumper - That sounds like mixed news!
GoEDI - I do hope the new route is IOM-EDI - I commute twice a week and going via GLA is a pain.
I found this on travelocity, which suggest that EDI-IOM is on the cards. It was a search for carriers on this route between November 2005 and 2006. The formating has gone to pot but it suggests that Euromanx will be offering a connecting service and gives the fare. The travelocity site wont accept bookings yet, but it sounds hopeful.
