This was the same person who, in 2008, was giving out similar messages about Euromanx until a few days before they went bust.
It later transpired that IOM Government had been aware for many months that Euromanx were on the brink of complete collapse, and that they were only able to continue to trade, because the Government took a sympathetic attitude to money owed for various charges and taxes etc.
End game was that the Manx Tax payer took a hit of c£600k on airport charges alone.
Everyone should make their own judgement on whether buying Aer Arann tickets is an acceptable financial risk, but I'd suggest the AD is not the best person to be taking advice from!
PS - Is it just me, or does she come across as arrogant and condescending in these regular radio interviews...........
