Surely not?? I thought EMX had been doing well for a while now? IoM-LPL route was rumoured by certainl local newspapers to be doing well...

Routes missing from end September

Previously bookable dates for IOM / GLA in October have now been withdrawn. From the end of September the following routes have disappeared from the Euromanx website - Glasgow, Galway, Bristol and Southamton. There could be others...

I have a ticket for the IOM/GLA route in October. I'll see what I can find out from them tomorrow!!!

Well I htink it is clear that they are pulling out of Galway, the question is, are they going to carry on operating at all?

Winter schedule no more no less, the withdrawl from GWY is correct though, high cost of fuel and high cost of putting fuel in RJ's. Look out for a reduction in destinations from the island.
With the high price of fuel and the gov inviting and supporting the Irish competition it was to be expected.

Had a call today to say WS had gone from the company and the Island. Hope it is true as he should not be in our industry.

Heard it confirmed today that CEO WS has indeed gone from Euromanx. Left the Island last week. Galway, Glasgow, Stansted and Southampton routes all withdrawn. One new route to start!

Owners

So if WS has left (pushed??) Euromanx, who are the actual owners, and who's calling the shots??

It's all a bit chaotic at Euromanx today. There was meant to have been a press release yesterday, but nothing was announced. Feel sorry for the poor Euromanx staff on the reservation desk - all they have is a hand written note scrawled in black felt tip pen stuck to the counter telling them not to accept bookings on the cancelled routes. Beyond that they know nothing. Not even calls up to management can clarify what's going on.

As to who's in charge - that's anyones guess...

same in green

WS's son JS takes over with immediate effect as "interim CEO" according an internal memo, whatever that means. To be fair, I have to add, that this was planned allready before, maybe not that fast.

Where's that? EDI re-start? It's been on their website for a while now, but with no schedule...

that's the point

@ rockjock

yes, according my info he was kinda RJ jockey in his former days, probably in Australia. But that's exactly the point, we all are surprized, that a guy who is supposed to know, how things are running, especially in training matters, safety, punctuality and so on can be as chaotic as his result, EMX, is. Just an example, EMX is broadcasting their punctuallity report daily internally and restricted on their webpage, but only if a flight is delayed more than 15 minutes it is reported as delayed. We all know, that airline standard is 3 minutes... They are lying in their own pockets... he's even worse than his father, sorry to say that...

PS: Chief Flight Operation has left his position and his job has been taken over by a delegate of Austrocontrol (...)

Sidestickthumper - That sounds like mixed news!

GoEDI - I do hope the new route is IOM-EDI - I commute twice a week and going via GLA is a pain.

I found this on travelocity, which suggest that EDI-IOM is on the cards. It was a search for carriers on this route between November 2005 and 2006. The formating has gone to pot but it suggests that Euromanx will be offering a connecting service and gives the fare. The travelocity site wont accept bookings yet, but it sounds hopeful.

Both GWY-LCY services were cancelled today. RJ70 EI-CPK was sitting on the Galway apron all day. Do they actually intend to operate the rest of the month?

Good luck to the staff, especially GWY based.

looks like my quess of 6 months was quiet a good guess after all.

feel sorry for the staff on check in, they are a good bunch of people at IOM.

looks like they have grown too big, far too fast, but hey, i just drive the punters, so what do i know? mmmmmmm

only the check in people?

@GMIMA

not only the Check-In guys were nice ones, also all the staff flying the crafts were (or still are) really great mates, not to forget the highly qualified CC and maintenance crew
