Manx 2 could be excellent news for a lot of people. Leeds and IOM being two financial centres must be capable of supporting a well frequented service.....ie. more than one mid-day return per day. Surely a sector like this offering day return facilities to business men will generate the traffic. Once per day is a waste of time! Blackpool desperately needs a good operator on the IOM and Belfast routes......growth at BLK will assist in growing this route as more people become aware of the ease of transit thro' BLK. With regard to the BLK routes a number of points must be noted by the Airport Operator and Manx2......namely reliable on time departures/arrivals; proper aeroplanes (not PA31s); good customer service on the part of both (staff who care about their customers); sensible prices (may nor may not be achievable with Let410s) don't try to grow too fast......get the foundations right!....or put another way 'a touch of professionalism'!
Best wishes to Manx2 BLK, LBA and Belfast (City would be best!).
