The ATRs were operated on their behalf by Rossair, a Dutch company. Looks like Denim Air are operating the Fokker 50 until the RJ70 comes on line.

Rossair went t1ts up a few weeks back so Denim were brought in on lease at short notice to operate the Euromanx services. Both the 19 seat Beech 1900's and 46 seat ATRs have been replaced with 50 seat Fokkers so a big capacity jump (althogh there are rumours of a Jetstream 32 in the pipeline). Euromanx, the airline which will operate RJ70 jets from early 2005, is, as of now, just a company which "ticket provides on behalf of Denim Air bv". No doubt the CAA are a little less than pleased.....

Where does Woodgate Aviation fit into all of this? I've recently noted a Pa31 (GLIDE) & Jetstream 31 (GCCPW) operating flights with EMX (Euromanx) callsigns but both of these aircraft are owned by Woodgate.

AFAIK Euromanx was set up as an offshoot of Woodgate. I may be wrong but, with RJ70's operating at £99 return to LCY and the necessity to lease Denimair to cover for the fall of Rossair, it may all be academic in a few months' time. If they can make it work, I for one will be most impressed.
The new owner may have deep pockets, but how long are his arms?

Understanding that EMX were formed from woodgate, and were operating on leased a/c, I do believe that as funds grow stronger, they will be more self-sufficient, for one phrase or another. Being a regular visitor down at EGNS, it is very difficult to tell on EMX aircraft from another, and the ATC callsigns dont help much, but gradually, 'EuroManx' is being heard on the ronaldsway frequencies more often. Thank God....

What's good about the euromanx callsign?
Largely it either signifies a grotty little Navajo Chieftan or a foreign aircraft that (before Rossair went down the tubes) wasn't particularly airworthy and not flown to the best of standards.
A marvellous advert for the Island indeed!

spanner.....it's not too clever to post about public transport aircraft being 'unairworthy'.....I suggest you have a little think before you post again.

Very true 'Rabbs', Particularly when some of the other carriers that fly in and out of the island have a very upsetting reliability record. One in particular comes to my mind, 748GTI's Best of British

the incident(s) to which you refer are not an airworthiness issue, more to do with the equipment at EGNS which has now changed with the introduction of an ILS on RWY 08.
It is not good to bring the safety record of a company into question in here or anywhere else.

As for Euromanx (I think it may have been covered elsewhere), will they or won't they be operating to LCY? Do they have their 146s yet?
Last I heard is that as well as the DenimAir Fokkers, they were leasing a Metro & an ATR42 from Atlantic Airlines of Coventry. (their other ATR42 currently on longterm lease to bmi)
