Does anyone know how the Manx2 route to JER and IOM is doing?

Kidlington might call themselves London Oxford but I bet not a single passenger came from London or went there.
People must get over this geographical proprietorial nous. It was a marketing ploy; to pinprick the conscious of European business jet users that there was an alternative if wishing to fly to N/W London! And as much as it pains me - it worked. The number of European Business jet movements ( non Oxf based and starting from Europe) rose dramatically overnight! As for commercial flights, if I could interlink into a Euro hub in the future with a 20 min check-in at Oxford and avoid going to Heathrow or Gatwick and the inevitable 3-4 hours wasted there I would do it.

As for the Manx route - supply and demand! Todays outbound to Jer was full!
