Just reading some of the comments on here about the decline in passenger numbers.
The explosion in the amount of loCo airlines flying cheaply to all over Spain and Portugal and beyond makes going to sunny climates the preffered choice. Peope who traditionally would have went to say Jersey, Blackpool or IOM now opt for the sunshine and futher afield for a range of reasons.
Then IOM has the business market and it like most other places is being curtailed by the amount of video calling etc. All companies have a challenge to cut costs and so are using airlines less.
IOM will need to keep focus on cost as fastest route to healing losses as I dont forsee any big uptake in the near future.
