Well granddaddy I trust by your comments that you've set up a very successful airline in the past, been through all the trials and tribulations, and have come out the other end and now operate without any delays technical problems, unhappy passengers....... What's it called? 'Air Eutopia' possibly.......well it should be 'I'm a cynic get me out of here'. Your rantings about 3W along with a few others have become boring. They are a new airline with employees, who do have feelings, trying to get established, give them a chance, yes they have had public difficulties, but it would appear they will have their own aircraft with their own AOC operating very shortly. In the meantime why don't you go and get yourself a REAL life.

EB

And for a second there I almost beleived you, but thanks, Euromanx again win me a bet

quote: "todays the day when your statment will be a very pretty baby on the apron! (ronaldsway)"

hoho, think you'll find thats exeter love,

Runwayedge, it's not that we don't like them, it's the spin doctoring, PR attempts and general rubbish that comes from Euromanx management and the fact that the manx press beleive them every time that gets our backs up! I can remember when BACX took over Manx, the amount of abuse they got from the manx people and press and how EMX gloated, rubbed it in, told everyone they were a manx airline ( but who was it that employed manx pilots and still do? ) and generally did everything they could to belittle them. So, infact, yeah, i suppose we don't like the management but there are some good, honest, hardworking guys and gals at EMX but unfortunately, non of them actually run the airline ( ticketing agent ), they just work for them

Feel really sorry for some of you out there . . .

Simply getting a kick out of: 'things not going the way it should . . .' (. . . right away that is . . .) for some operator and anonymously kicking them (down) anyway you can . . .

You're really making fools of yourselves . . .

Grown up people . . . ?

Why don't be all happy together . . . ?


But that is probably whisfull thinking and perhaps why we live in this world full of wars and sorrow after all . . .

My condolences to the poor soul from Flight Despatch who was dragged out of bed to meet the arrival of the RJ at 0700 on Sunday morning..............

The title of the thread is now accurate, Euromanx RJ Arrival. EI - CPJ Touched down at IOM at 1254. Actually looks quite impressive.

Euromanx RJ, don't know which one, just flew over my house on it's way into IOM. About time too!

Could have picked a nicer day, but at least it got here.

Just in time for G-MIMA's photshoot too!

At last movement - one of the RJ's finally left Exeter at 1107z for the IOM - Looks like thing's might be starting to happen at last for Euromanx...
Not sure which one it was

Cool runwayedge

Yes I have been involved in a couple of start-ups,both of which were run smoothly & professionally,by people who knew what they were doing.
True there may be some good folks at Euromanx,but it is patently obvious that they have been let down in many ways by some who are not.
Now that they have got the tools let us see if they can get on quietly and professionally,and let others do the same.

Euromanx - Lots Of Press & Galway

Seems Euromanx are getting quite a bit of funny press coverage around their Galway launch.

Sunday Times - journo Dalby usually reliable on Irish Av matters.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...572157,00.html

and verry funny Guardian article.
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/trave...461411,00.html

Lots of rumours in Galway that the Malaga and Paris flights have been cut and been replaced by flights to IOM with no direct flights to Europe ex GWY. Seems sensible. Wonder will the LCY flights operate GWY-IOM-LCY?

The aircraft is finally here and I have managed to get a picture to prove it, albeit in the pouring rain. Just a shame I can't post it here.

Nice to see it and the scheme looks good. Lets hope all the worry about Euromanx now fades away and they manage to get on with their new routes without any more hassle.

Quote: “It is a complicated thing that I don’t want to get into but we do have a licence and we have been approved to operate by the Irish aviation authorities,” said Seamus Byrne, the company’s sales and marketing director

Makes you wonder why doesn't it?

Perhaps all the knockers, doubters, diggers, cynics and people like carltoncole, who clearly took great delight in bashing anyone and everyone in EMX, will now realise that there must have been problems. But now the management can get the airline running. It is NOT and easy task. At least stop bashing the staff and the airline. Give 'em a break.

Smart a***'s can now take a rest.

There will no more threads on Euromanx. This is the only one, which is why I have merged another thread starter with this thread. We don't allow multiple threads.

From the Irish times article:

The Isle of Man-based company is using an EU loophole whereby “virtual” carriers can operate under another airline’s licence. Euromanx is believed to be licensed by Denimair, an Austrian concern. This tactic avoids some onerous regulations that stipulate among other things that anybody setting up an airline must prove to the satisfaction of the relevant national authority that it has six months’ operating cash to compensate passengers in the event that the venture does not get off the ground.
Surely Denim Air is a Netherlands registered company operating on a dutch AOC ?

Oh and congrats to Euromanx on getting RJ70 EICPJ to the IOM - but will it be off to Galway before the day is out leaving the Island to wait for the next one ?

Well done. What country the aircraft or airline is registered in is irrelevant - at least Euromanx will be an AOC-holding airline issuing tickets for itself. Good luck to all involved.

One question - can anyone make sense of the quote in the Times regarding the fact that the Galway - Paris service will actually operate via IOM (although http://www.euromanx.com/news/ still says it is direct):

“... passengers going to Paris have all been informed about the stop — it’s a Gaelic thing and the west of Ireland is Gaelic-speaking,” said Byrne.

I, for one, am totally baffled - whatever about the fact that only small pockes of the west of Ireland are actually "Gaelic speaking", what exactly is "a Gaelic thing"?

Well, as predicted by others earlier in the thread, the Red & white plane with the three legs on the tail has indeed gone to Galway......

So I'd be interested in an inside opinion on Euromanx's maxim "The Island's Airline".

I asked members of Euromanx staff weeks ago before the arrival of the first jet and was assured that priority would be given to pressing the first RJ into operation on the IOM services.

I have the utmost sympathy with these people who work very hard with I'm sure little thanks, but it would seem that the desisions made at high level are not being made in the best interests of the Isle of Man.

On a lighter not though, another good day for spotters - a JetX Iceland MD82 operating for 3W.
