From Manx Radio's website today:
"Shortly after a high profile launch, in which Manx dancers and musicians were flown down to Stansted. Manx2 says its reducing the number of flights between the Ronaldsway and the London Airport.
That will be from the beginning of December when the company will only be offering flights on Fridays and Sundays.
Communications director, James Filleul says that since the launch, it has mainly been used by leisure passengers, rather than the business community.
As the firm is also launching a new route to Belfast City airport in December from the Isle of Man, and increasing services to Blackpool, they think it sensible to scale down Stansted flights, and only offer the most popular weekend services.
So from December just Friday and Sunday Manx2 Stansted services."
Guess their market research was a bit off......

What kind of market research ? You mean the funny poll on their website ? Everybody wants Heathrow (in a jet, surprise surprise...), so let's go to Stansted in a knackered Jetstream.....

Interesting times ahead for every one at ronaldsway i think! Rumour has it that there will be 3 Q-400 operated by flybe. LGW, MAN,BHX. Flight support still have another 18 months to run on the flybe contract which could prove interesting come march 2007 when manx regional will only have a handful of aircraft to handle!
with flybe's continued expansion from Brum, it would make perfect sense to base the BHX aircraft here on the rock! They should fill most seats on all the routes they will be doing especially if the flights are reliable and seats are priced accordingly!
How long has Manx2 got till it has to provide its own AOC? think its a max of 2 yrs for the renting of another airline!

With 4 aircraft presently based at Ronaldsway (1 Let, 2 J41 and 1 Metroliner) has Manx2 overstretched itself or will we see a reduction when the Stansted route drops to a couple of rotations at the end of this week?
(At least there's been no talk of aquiring RJs so some management restraint exists....)

The two J31s are operating STN and LBA respectively, as far as I know the Metroliner is doing the BLK runs and the BFS too, so is the LET out of action at the moment? When does BHD start?
Let's hope we don't see another EuroManx style situation of years passed with about six different companies all operating for the same airline.

Over this past week, Let410 OK-UBA has done most of the Blackpool runs, the Metroliner on 1 or 2 rotations and Jetstream 31 G-CCPW on 1 rotation!
Not sure if the other J31 is here or not? Anyone on the rock be able to confirm?

Two Jetstreams (G-PLAJ, G-CCPW), the LET and a German registered Metroliner seen today - at various times and the grey matter can't quite recall whether all were on the ground at the same time!

Seems Manx2 will temporarily scoope the pool with BNWA pulling off BLK as from today . The new F50 operator out of BLK is still lokking for a March start so the pleasure will be short lived
What is it about BLK IOM that drawers in lots of competition? Is that 10 operators in ten years now

Does anybody know anymore about this F50 airline?
Surely they aren't going to try and take on Manx2?! They are the new EZY, everybody knows who they are, and what they are doing!
This airline will really have to knuckle down and REALLY take IOM by storm if it wants to achieve anything! If not, Manx2 will wipe them out!
