IOM ending
After all the new routes it seems a shame to lose a fairly long running one from SOU! But the Daily IOM-SOU-BRU-SOU-IOM ends on the 28th of this month however from SOU only the IOM leg will be dropped so I assume space has been found in the schedule for a SOU based Q400 to operate BRU.
I am quite surprised to not see the route be reduced to around 4 weekly first or even it being returned to a seasonal route. It seems like a big jump between 6/7 weekly Q400 flights to 0!!
Hopefully Manx2 may see this as an opportunity to launch either SOU or BOH-IOM on smaller aircraft (D228/J31) at either the same or higher frequency - Double-daily is still only 38 daily seats vs 78 for a Q400 and having a choice of flights should appeal to business passengers too.
