Dear CB,
"If all pax were like you ..." then they would be doing not less that 30 sectors a year on business and pleasure. My diary tells me that, so far this year, I have already done 36 sectors of various lengths. In what way would that be bad for airline business?
The decline of IOM as a tourist destination is well known but the population of the island has doubled since the war and the next census results expect to show an increase of 10,000 over the last.
They market themselves as a low tax financial centre and many people make day trips as well as longer breaks. It is not all granny's or grand children on the flights.
