EZY are not interested in doing anything serious on the island. The current services are merely filling slots in their schedule. If a better use for the aircraft came along they would be gone in a shot. The Islands population and its governmant have never been interested in having a stable secure air service. They have always encouraged price wars which will always lead to what we have now. That said business travel is down, money is tight and we will inevitably end up with a service that fits the market. Unfortunately we are getting close to the point where it is probably uneconomical to run the levels of service we have seen in the past.
I think the service from Flybe has been good, far better then the good ole Manx airlines days which everyone seems to long for through rose tinted glasses. Euromanx was poorly run and had to go. I hope the guys at Manx2 can hang on.
In the end there is always the boat. Now thats the way to do a deal with the Manx government
