I did hear the SOU-IOM route was not doing well but surely the route could have been:
-reduced to 4-5 weekly
-'re-made' seasonal
-changed to a Loganair Saab 340 (pending availibility, could also be used to keep BRS going)
or a combination of the above. It seems quite a jump to go from 6/7 weekly to 0 especially before the Summer season commences. Hopefully we will see Manx2 fill the gap and start SOU or BOH-IOM possibly even at double daily (still only 38 daily seats (2x 19 seat D228/J31) vs 78(1x Q400) in the Summer, they also seem to be doing well on numerous 'thin' domestic routes at the moment!
