National Jet (Aus) (Ita) Again?
From what I've heard, and it's only that, but no smoke etc....... Aircraft on the ground don't make money, and many of their aircraft have been parked around every spare peice of taxy way at Ronaldsway, routes being cut, the latest being Manchester, and some redundency notices issued to both Flight crew and Ground Staff. An investigation by Price Waterhouse rumored to have begun at the request of a major Bank, Somthing to do with the lease deal on the RJ's. What a joke to call themselves the Islands Airline!!!!!! Still, best they go under before the winter and inherent cost of de-icing aircraft, if they are going to bother this season!
Good luck to the guys and gals though, they are a real hard working bunch, shame they have been taken in and shafted by Mr S.

Well from what I have heard, neither of the above two comments are true. Before you start slinging mud around, you should really check who actually owns the aircraft... then check who is backing Euromanx... add two and two and try not to get 42.
Also, you might like to consider that under many lease arrangements, you only actually pay for the hours that the aircraft flies (plus daily/C-check requirements). So if it sits around, it isn't hurting EMX (much).
And finally, whilst nobody likes it, it is sometimes necessary to prune aircraft or crews in the face of difficult trading conditions. EMX wouldn't be the first, many large airlines have done the same in recent years (including some of the big charter carriers).

Can anyone update us on what fleet they have left and what the medium term aircraft will be for London City - with the RJ's on the way out, what will be used to keep this going on a two-per-day frequnecy?

Would have thought the pretty radical surgery to Galway and route shutdowns announced recently suggested that things were not good on the finance front. Backers perhaps demanded some action and be quick about it! Many said the initial expansion was too fast too soon and it appears to be the case. Unfortunatley it's the workers who catch the fallout. Rumour has it that cabin and flight crew have been made redundant. Another glorious day in the annals of Manx aviation.

Significant amount of funds invested into 3W on the basis that they can get their act together quickly, so the rationisation of IOM routes and the quick decision to get out of Galway seem to be the most sensible decisions made for quite some time. Sorry to hear about the job losses though.
Word from an Aer Arran instructor that they would be willing to type rate 3W guys on the ATR72/42 based on the Island as part of their growth plans. Might be word making contact ??

Any chance of emailing me if you have a contact regarding your comments,
"Word from an Aer Arran instructor that they would be willing to type rate 3W guys on the ATR72/42 based on the Island as part of their growth plans. Might be word making contact ??"
Unfortunately I was one that got the letter "Don't turn up on Monday"

Atlantic air have removed their aircraft from the island, so 3W now have to manage with just their own airframes, and the emerald ATP's. The Southampton, Glasgow & Stansted routes are stopping, leaving considerably less overall for them to handle.
Yesterday's London city was operated by a Dash-8 300 (OEHBB) I believe for the first time the company's own dash has gone into the city ?
Aer Arann begin liverpool services tomorrow...............

Schedule
After checking thier website they have actually updated the home page with a new route map, which looks far more realistic for them to operate, and a news link.
They dont announce the slashing of previous routes or whats happened about the fleet.
But, the timetable only states 3 aircraft...DH8, 328 and EQV? I dont know what EQV is? But, looks like to me that the RJs are not operating any...unless EQV is some kind of shortcut for RJs!

I was called in to do an ACMI charter for Euromanx in my last company. Never seen such an unhappy and disorganised set up!
How long will the Manx government continue to bail them out?

Reduced operation for winter with 2 Dash 8s and 2 Dorniers with the ATP carrying on the LPL.
RJs at 2 bucks a gallon for fuel could not make Galway work.
Aer Arran gets kicked off Dublin Cork by Ryanair and has to find something for the ATRs.
Good luck to the EMX guys / gals. and hope those that are left make it.

So I suppose the question would be, what are they going to do with the RJ's? Mothball them until the summer, or dispose of them?
The clue would be whether or not they have retained any RJ crew (and the new jet FM).
