Btw, as far as ICAO codes are concerned, there is similar confusion. Manx2 is often mentioned in connection with the IATA Code "BPS", which happens to be the IATA code of Budapest Air Services, the company that initially operated the Let 410s for Manx2 before Manx2 switched to Slovak carrier Vanair.
Got that one wrong. Vanair are CZ and they used the BPS AOC as they didn't have their AOC issued until after they started working with Manx2. IATA rules if you read them state that only AOC holders can have the two letter code. New rules. I don't see Co-op Travel with a two letter code. All part of the act to fool the public and a lot of people on here into thinking they were a genuine airline. Perhaps the 20 seat rule for ATOL holders will now be rescinded and that someone looks into the contracts between Manx2 and the AOC holders. I'm sure there must some interesting reading for the authorities in there.
