Manx2
Does anyone know anything about this new airline, Manx2? It says on their web site that they are going to be operating from Ronaldsway to Leeds Bradford, Belfast Aldergrove and Blackpool starting in July using a 19 seat aircraft.
It seems to have quite a strong team behind it and is being started by Noel Hayes (former Rockhopper/Blue Islands).
My only concern is that they mention in their press release that they are going to be using a 19 seat aircraft specifically designed for short flights, I remember a few months back there being rumours of Let 410s being used by a new start up. Couldn't be this lot could it?
Also, they're going 3 times daily on IOM-LBA, is that not overkill alongside the BLK, MAN and LPL flights? Eastern were carrying under 500 pax a month on their IOM-LBA flights, however they were using a J32 and only operated once daily.
Also they claim to have ties to Jet2?
Any info anyone?
