Flybe brand getting onto BHD IOM few years ago to wipe Manx2 off the map.
That move totally backfired on Flybe big style. It must have been the shortist lasting on the route network ever, did it even last a season?
There was no way a Saab prop with 2 crew and a cabin attendant was going to compete with a 19 seat Let with just a flightdeck crew. Outside peak timings you would be very lucky to get double figure pax on the Manx2 planes.
