Ay, there's the rub...
"If someone can buck the old trends and do T/A long-haul cheaper (with all safety requirements fulfilled) then good luck to them."
An ironic (sic) post on the Cork Airport thread.
Says I.
Do you remember 10th Feb 2013?
Ever heard of Manx2?
I don't think that they exist any more.
Well, at least, they don't call themselves Manx2, for sure.
In the words of Wiki:
The aircraft, destroyed in the accident, was a Fairchild SA 227-BC Metro III, c/n BC-789B, registration EC-ITP.
1. It was owned by a Spanish bank and
2. leased toLíneas Aéreas de Andalucía,
3. known as Air Lada based in Seville, Spain.
4. The aircraft was subleased to Flightline S.L. and was on the Air operator's certificate(AOC) of Flightline, which is based in Barcelona, Spain.
5. Tickets were sold by Manx2 which was based in the Isle of Man.
Have any of the above 5 outfits ( ¿you can provide your own adjective ?) been held in any way whatsoever accountable?
As the satirical London based fortnightly Private Eye always says: "I think we should be told."
