Grrr

Back in the days when the 146 operated 3 return flights from the Isle of Man into Heathrow (then this operation moved to Gatwick) and the single daily return flight into Luton, the loads and one must assume the yields, were very strong considering that the Luton-Isle of Man service was at once stage the only BA route operating from this Bedfordshire airport (Cityflyer came and went during this period so did the Kerry/Belfast service). Perhaps one can look at BA taking over Manx to the gradual decline in volume and yield over a period of time? Whatever the reason, now there is now no North London daily connection to the Isle of Man which surely cannot be good news for the Island? Travellers must get to Gatwick or London City, or even drive up to Birmingham.

Monarch to Larnaca, good news if true?
