I notice that Manx2 have put a Saturday only route to Jersey on sale for summer 2013, beginning mid May - from memory I believe this is at a significantly lower frequency than the route in summer 2012. This also follows the effective termination of Manx2's routes out of Oxford (ignoring the 2 weeks around the IoM TT)
I realise that Manx2 sell seats on small aircraft, but when one-way leisure-oriented fares begin at between £85 and £100 depending on date for what is a relatively short hop, it seems a little surprising, particularly when competing airports with routes to Jersey like Bristol and Birmingham are not that far away.
Are these fares simply a corollary of puddle jumpers with high costs per passenger operating the route, or is there some other reason behind this ?
