EuroManx to become dominant airline?
EuroManx is set to become the Island’s 'dominant' airline, according to the company’s sales and marketing manager.
Seamus Byrne was speaking after EuroManx announced it had reached agreement to take over Emerald Airways’ service to Liverpool.
From Monday, the service will be solely operated by EuroManx with ten flights a day.

Don't those PR type people have a wonderful way with words to make things sound wonderful!
EMX have wetleased Emerald's ATPs and their crews and are even spraying the ATP's in EMX colours! Havent they been doing this with other companies? So whats different about this stunt?
There seems to be quite a few aircraft in euromanx colours sitting on the ground costing them lots of money i should imagine and they are still using other companies and their aircraft to operate on their behalf. Surely the long awaited AOC has been issued?
Does anyone out there know what is really going on? Above all I would like to see the success of this airline...

It would be nice to see Euromanx as "The Islands dominant carrier". However, until the delays and cancellations stop and they get around to using the aircraft they have parked then it's going to be a while.
However, the LPL "take-over" was always going to be on the cards. There simply isn't enough people on the Island to warrant that amount of flights with 2 airlines. I will be surprised if the "new dominant carrier" doesnt cut one or two out of the schedule and make it more realistic.
I just hope the ticket I have for Emerald at the end of this month is honoured and I don't miss my conection in LPL for AMS. With EM's history of delays I could be spending a couple of days festering in the 'Pool!

Euromanx Dominant?? I doubt it. Their pilots arrived at our place the other day with no airside security passes and didn't even know where they were going!!! The following weekend the whole operation was nine hours behind schedule and then they subchartered to Love Air and an airline called SunAdria who (apparently) are based in Zagreb. What is going on with EMX? I think they need to sort the basics out first, THEN rectify the cancellations! They're more likely to fail than become dominant!

They would be well advised not to use words such as "dominant" in discussions with the press. The term "abuse of a dominant position" comes to mind if they start trying to muscle out other carriers on the rock.
Now let's sit back and keep an eye on the fares on the Liverpool route

From Isle of Man newspapers: Make of it what you will!!
AIRLINE JOBS SAFE
EMERALD Airways has pulled out of the Liverpool route and handed it over to competitor EuroManx.
But the jobs of eight Island-based Emerald staff are not under threat and EuroManx has pledged to preserve services on the route.
The Isle of Man-based airline will offer up to 10 flights a day between Ronaldsway Airport and Liverpool.
EuroManx's managing director Warren Seymour said: 'We have been in discussions with Emerald Airways and have concluded that the way forward for both companies is to combine our strengths to ensure the stability of the route while enabling short notice capacity and frequency increases to satisfy consumer demand.
'We are also committed to offering passengers excellent value for money fares and we will continue to do so on the route. We are going to be dynamic with capacity and dynamic with fare levels.'
The two airlines have joined forces because the number of passengers could not sustain two operators.
Emerald will now concentrate on its Liverpool based freight business.
No jobs will be lost as EuroManx will take on all Emerald staff and its two 68-seat planes, which will be painted in Euromanx's colours.
Emerald chief executive Mick O'Brien said: 'We have been serving the air freight needs of the local community since our incorporation in 1992 and we are delighted that our involvement with the passenger route over the last year or so since the withdrawal of BA CitiExpress has contributed, along with EuroManx, in re-establishing the volume of passengers, lower fares and frequency of flights on this life-line route. We believe these improvements will be better sustained by one operator and look forward to supporting EuroManx with this task.'
Emerald tickets will be honoured by EuroManx.
EuroManx, which moved into offices in the freeport a week ago, is looking at more destinations with Chambray in France, for the ski season, and Eindhoven in the Netherlands and Jersey from the end of August.

Emerald to Ellan Vannin
Alas it appears that the excellent service to Fraggle Rock provided by Emerald Airways is to be no more. Shame they didn't get a bigger foot in the door earlier.
Sorry if this has resulted in any loss of jobs to the lovely cabin crew girls and the guys up front.

Euromanx is supposed to be operating a Saturday LBA-VRN-LBA service this summer. The service was operated by a Titan 146 last Saturday and I believe the Saturday previous. Their own RJs look very fancy in the Euromanx colours but it would be nice to see a bit more of them. Incidentally, I see they are Irish registered. Who is the AOC holder/operator ?? _

Anybody else on the rock ( or off for that matter) hear Mr Byrne's interview on Fraggle radio ?
Apparently he says it's not Euromanx's fault that there have been so many cancellations/indefinite delays/broken promises. It's all the fault of the airlines from which they have had to sub charter aircraft while waiting for their own aircreft & crews to come online.
So, Atlantic, Farnair, Flightline, Denim, Love Air, highland et al, consider yourselves suitably chastened, it's nothing to do with Euromanx announcing routes that they simply could not expect to operate, but you must hold your hands up and accept the complaints of the Manx public yourselves.

I rather think the term "Running before you can walk" applies in this case.
I wonder what the excuse will be when (or if!!) their own aicraft do get on line. And who is at fault when the RJ's go tech? Watched one a few days ago taxi to the holding point at A1, sit there for 45 minutes and then taxi back to the terminal. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's hardly Farnair or Atlantic et al's fault.
Ah well, we'll wait and see what occurs over the coming months. Will the Dorniers ever do a revenue service? Will the Dash 8's ever turn up? Will I get to LPL in time to catch my Easyjet flight?

Euromanx returning to Edinburgh?
Heard several rumours to suggest Euromanx will restart the IOM - Edinburgh route next year. Anyone got any news on this?
Sad to see Emerald go... Watch the prices rise on the Liverpool route!

Emerald must be making more money wet leasing the a/c to Euromanx than they were flying the service themselves, i reakon this set up suits emerald just fine. How long until the 10 flights a day becomes 5 again? Surely if there's not enough pax to warrent 2 operators then there aren't enough pax to warrant 10 flights a day!! Infact, I do beleive one flight back from LPL today was cancelled, so expect combining of flights to start very soon, alot of the time!!
Finally, even if it's the sub chartered companies that are causing all the delays etc ( which is
in my opinion ) who was it that took on more routes than they could handle, not Atlantic, not Farnair, not Love Air etc, EUROMANX and if it hadn't been for companies willing to lease A/C to a Euromanx (who, if the comments are true seem quite ungrateful ), then Euromanx wouldn't exist!! I really feel sorry for the frontline staff at flight support and EMX, Mr Byrne's comments are gonna blow up in their faces once again. Good luck guys and gals!!!
P.S It looks like EMX plan to prove therir dominance by massing all there own a/c just beside the old fire ground and abandoning RJ70's on peir stands for hours at a time!

It would make sense given that there is currently no operator on the route!

If indeed it is their plan to restart IOM-EDI then I hope they have got their act together by then.
All this "new route" malarky when they haven't consolidated themselves on the one's they have got is looking for trouble.
How many airlines tried to grow too fast and blew out? Countless!!
