The IOM-LGW, INV-LGW routes are included in the Bacon 'purchase' by FlyBe
It is hard to see how Flybe could not make money to LGW. Taking the London market as a whole there are some 230000 passengers per annum which must be way more than a lot of their regional routes.
And anyway, once Manx2 get their Heathrow slots everything will be all right on the rock

skiddy fella, thanks for the piccie. I haven't spoted one of those yet but now that looks like a mean machine and makes those ManxyToo things and the redtails prop jobs look stone age. If flybe moves in with those or even those longer prop jobs then I know what me and the fellas would want to fly on. Theres a lot of chit chat about Manxy Too and the redtails and flybe (by by BA by by) but the eastern outfit gets no mention. Are they that boring and expensive. And there prop jobs look even worst. No, some new aircraft and a bit of proper service is what me and the fellas in the snug want to see, yessir.

My pleasure with the piccie. Bright and shiny they may be, but proper service isn't what you'll get, not by a long chalk! The smaller outfits may look sloppy and oldfashioned but they are a damn sight more efficient than some damn great jet!
And don't bank on Flybe being around too long after the change over. They've pulled out of the island almost once, they'll do it again.
I'd rather put my trust in Manx2, Eastern or Euromanx than that shower of (insert choice of expletive here)

Witnessed LET410 being blown to almost tipping over this morning at Ronaldsway waiting at holding point A2.
The aircraft lifted from the tail onto it's left hand side mainwheel, the pilot did well to allow the aircraft to move forward and correct the tip.
The emergency response wasn't the quickest, wonder if ATC would call the shots on this one?

Fellas, it must be true cos Manx Radio reported it on the 1 oclock news! No injuries - phew. A real blow here on the Island this morning with some windows blown in at a garden centre in Douglas.
Bad news about the BA hangar up for sale. Guess that's the end and no question. Best of luck to all my mates down there.

It has even made the IOM government official news http://www.gov.im/infocentre/ViewNew...l&menuid=10160
A post on another Island forum suggests 3 of Manx2's leased-in fleet (all of it) have been damaged today. Not a good day for Manx2 and it must have been a rough day out there in the Irish Sea.

Not a good day indeed for Manx2. Still, not much you can do when the wind decides to take you for a ride!
I have some pictures of the damaged Let, but I'll not post them yet, give the chaps at Manx2 time to recover and get on with the job of running the airline.

Could you PM them please?
Very surprised to hear only two pax onboard! I thought they are supposed to be doing well? I saw a full flight on the evening BLK flight 17/12/06 on my FR flight to Spain.
Hope all at Manx2 are feeling up beat and can turn this around!
Cheers.

not so......the jetstream belonging to Jetstream Executive was up in Scotland and refused to operate due to the high winds
very sensible decision by the (british) Jetstream Executive management
Actually only one of our pilots on L410's is from UK. Others are from Germany, Slovenia (including me), France and Sweden 
Damage on OK-UBA is moderate, left tip tank and part of the right leading edge are damaged (due to impact with caterpillar).
Greets from Port Erin

I'm suprisied Jetstream Exec haven't gone it alone. To my knowledge they've been involved with four airlines off the island in recent years. Surely Mr Green should consider setting up services in his own right?
