Manx2 January figures:
Pax carried: 3833
Flights operated: 486
Av. people per flight: 8
Av. percentage per flight: 46.4%
Personally, I think that for January operations, these results are very good. With the introduction of the new services to both Belfast airports on Wednesday, the airline looks to have a bright future, and I hope that the airline can launch another route before the summer comes.

Manx2 online check in
I am travelling manx2 tomorrow BFS IOM and I got a call from customer service at the airline telling me about the new online facility. The guy encouraged me to check in online as i will be day tripping. He said that I could win a prize!!
All very proactive I have to say. Will be interesting. can stay in bed a little longer than planned as checked in already.

Top service from the Manx2 staff today while I was daytripping in Belfast!
And new 6ft-ish boards in the BHD terminal advertising the new click+fly online check-in scheme already.
I can't see anyone else advertising as vigourously as Manx2 in the Isle of Man at the moment and they're doing a good job of it too!

Manx2 online check and flight
Ronaldsway Radar, I have to agree with you I flew day trip on manx2 today and the service and experience was great.
I flew BFS IOM BFS . It was Let410 on each flight. 17 pax outbound and 13 on return. 13 of the people on the outbound were day trippers and commented on the free flights. The let 410 was a lovely little plane.
However, the scanners at passport control in BFS did not recognise the boarding cards from online check in . In the IOM it was veryu smooth running. I laughed as a lady on the flight said this 'is like a wee helicopter' so that was amusing for all onboard.
The personel at manx2 are very engaging and it certainly looks like morale is high in the company. Got talking to the pilots and they were all so positive. Well done manx2 , I hope they enjoy much success in the coming year.

Yes the crew and staff were very helpful both on-board and at both airports.
We had running commentary the whole way back to IOM from a lady sat behind me.
"Ah that's Peel. And that's Eerie. Ah there's the sacntuary. There's Douglas."...

LPL
Rumour is that once a third LET 410 is delivered then there is the possibility of upto 8 flights a day to LPL. Seems possible. This rumour has been around for a couple of weeks. Like anything though at the moment its only rumour. From a good source though.

Are Manx2 in profit?
I know when starting an operator that you need along time for things to settle and for the books to become constant and balance out, but are they making money yet?
Cheers.

I think it is great to see the airline growing at such a rate, and how well they are performing on their routes.
Hope to see them increase their aircraft and their aircraft capacity. Would love to see them on LPL route!

Unless you have a handle on their yield and overhead structure, any discussion about whether they are making money based on load is completely meaningless.
If they are full at a yield of 3p, are the profitable?
If they are 10% loaded at a yield of £100, are they profitable?

Norwegian, Island life has its pros and cons. Taxes are low, cost of living can be high. Houses compare with the SE of England in some places. I have one for sale if you're looking!! 
Thanks to Flybe and BACON I have to move off to get work!
On the whole though, life here is pleasant, peaceful and safe. I am not looking forward to returning to the wonderland that is Mr Blair's Britain!

Flew with Manx2 on that Let 401 aircraft the other day.....what a strange perculiar thing it is. 
Was not impressed at all and not happy with those 'imported' pilots. Never have been happy with 'Eastern bloc' stuff. Price was OK but to get to Belfast I had not realised that it connected through the IOM.....what a joke....should have checked first. Shan't be using THAT service again ! Also you have to stop overnight due to the awkward timings. Will have to find another better option as Jet2 is way to early with the timing outbound and for me goes to the wrong airport at Aldergrove.
Correct me if I am wrong but did I not see Manx2 with a jetstream aircraft on the IOM. Someone said it was going to Leeds ? Is that right ? If so why don't they use those Jetstreams on all the routes. Much bettre aircraft.
