touch&go - correct me if I am wrong, but the number is not a premium rate number (which begin 09) but a National Rate number (08), these are non geographic numbers which are all charged at the normal national rate from UK landlines. Most airline reservation numbers I can think of are 08 numbers.

Its beyond me, Eastern came off LBA because they couldn't make it pay because of the cheap fares into MCR, there is no demand for increased capacity on Blackpool, and Belfast already has two operators. Either we have a couple of enthusiasts here or there is a lump of "marketing support" in play.

Hansol, I am sorry, i dont think you could be more wrong!
Blackpool is a very strong market for the isle of man, both for inbound and outbound passengers (i.e IOM folk wanting to come over here, and lancashire folk wanting to go over there). The route will do well with some competition which will stimulate demand back to the levels it used to be, and well beyond.
LBA is a good link, financial links, eastern operated a single daily frequency with very high fares, frequency breeds demand, very well known fact.
I personally wish Manx2 every success and hope they flourish into a sucessful regional airline.

Spacegrand Twin Otters
Bring back the good old days or not that long ago.
The Twin Otters plodding between Blackpool and IOM then came the Shed but then like other companies got to big and pulled out.

Well the first Manx2 aircraft has arrived on the IOM this lunchtime, ready to start flights on Saturday Let 410 HA-YFG from Budapest Air Services. Don't know whether it's in Manx2 livery though.

What was the CAA's problem with the Let? And Helen49, why would low costs not be achievable with them? I would have thought (no idea why) that the costs would be much cheaper with an aircraft like the L410 than the J31 or 41 for example.

Good loads
Contrary to previus discussions about demand on BLK-IOM their flight into here (BLK) on Friday night was rammed and again yesterday. Next thing they'll need the shed back! We've got a couple of them parked up here at the moment available cheap from the Emerald administrators....

It's all really sad. Travelled to IOM recently to see a mixed pot of 4th division operators and equipment parked on the pan. Used to be a real airline , Manx , keeping the arteries of the Island open. Now......., many foreign registered aircraft like those heaps of poo that Manx 2 fly. Wonder why they are not on the British register?? I wonder how someone like TimS views this, are the best interests of the Isle of Man being served well by these airlines? Has frequency and choice of destination increased? Have airfares plummeted? Are the schedules reliable?

what a bloody rip off, this service is, has anyone been on their website and had a look at just how much it costs for a return between blackpool and the isle of man.

have fun with this commedy site, look out for the joke that uses this sign: £
good luck to this airline though,a rare set up, but nice to see new and challenging buisness to the other operators, that have hogged the isle of man for years, and that other misfit airline:euromanx.
good luck to manx 2, the special offers are not bad though
all the best
