Had manx2 been taken over i am sure we would be aware of it!! Remember Manx2 does not hold its own AOC so it seems obvious that whoever operates there service for them such as FLM aviation do on LBA and BHD will have to apply for permission to operate the route. It all goes back to the argument of manx2 being a ticket agent or airline!! Whatever the case it works!! manx2 ahve not been sold!
