BE Tech prob tother Friday
All was goin well that day which is gd, but it did start to unravel for the MAN rotations mid afternoon. BE7346 returned to stand with a tech problem, and pax disembarked. A brand new spare part arrived from BHX, but when fitted produced another fault, which is when the new plan was devised for the BE7348.
A 145 did the 7347 then 7346 from MAN, with the 7346 departing IOM at 2030.
A 195 from BHX positioned up to IOM to pick up a big load and went out to MAN as the 7348 at 2240.
Flybe will bust a gut to get all passengers where they need to be on the same day, but unfortunately there will be instances where it isnt possible, due to crew hours, tech a/c, airport closing times, or even all BE a/c operating etc.
Of late though, Flybe performance on the IOM has been very good, and all is running smoothly with the combined BE and EMX passengers. Keep it up all

A new Euromanx information website has appeared www.euromanx.info which I suppose is better than the old home page
which isnt updated.

Regarding earlier post about premium rate phone numbers check:-
SAYNOTO0870.COM - Non-Geographical Alternative Telephone Numbers
you can normally find an alternative cheaper phone number for the same company.

Flybe, what an airline eh?
LPL-IOM rtn £250 for Aug. Not given date cos some sad individual will come back with some b@~*&^%t reason why?
Who cares for these routes, what about competition?
They seem to be gaining monoplies at other bases where others have been pushed out by prices, only to be pumped up when these Airlines have gone.
Proof at INV where prices have increased 40%.

LPL Fares........
I know I'll probably get flamed for this but what the f%ck....
I just spent 5 minutes scrolling through FlyBe fares to LPL for August and there are dozens of flights where the lead in is £0.00 or £8.89.
The most expensive combination I could make was £179.98, and there were only two flights in the whole month you could combine to give this.
I'm sorry if you are going to pay £250, and I accept that by the time August comes and someone tries to book then it may be so, but to imply that is a typical fare available now, IOM-LPL is misleading.

You sir are a wind-up merchant. Sorry to get personal, but these forums are meant for aerospace professionals and I suppose guests who don't mind joining in.
To show either such naivity or deliberate deceitfulness in your post is neither useful or helpful. Those of us who ARE pilots can see through it instantly, and clearly you'll be answered by others who will show the lie you spin.
If you've got a flight like that at that cost, then there must be at least 70-75 booked on it already, and even then, you'll only get it if you click on Economy plus. So yes, if you want lounge access, extra baggage entitlement, full flight flexibility and other benefits, then go ahead, book onto the busiest time and flight available.
The pricing allows for businessmen who really need to travel last minute to clinch deals and others with really important reasons to have those last couple of seats available. Logical and in tune with providing a service. If you want it cheap, pick a better time or book earlier.

Is the www.Euromanx.info site still being updated?
Its more current than the old company site but latest position of the aircraft needs updating.

Euromanx are now being liquidated according to www.euromanx.info 
"COLLAPSED airline EuroManx is seeking a winding up order in the High Court.
The company issued a petition for its own winding up on June 16.
This followed a special resolution of EuroManx shareholders on May 17, who agreed to petition for a winding up order because the company was unable to pay its liabilities.
At a court hearing on Monday, the petition was adjourned until July 10 for the Deemster to consider the matter.
They should have dropped the mixed fleet ages ago and life could have been different.

IOMSpotter - if EMX had had the same thing happen to them as Flybe did yesterday, there would have been a lot of people on the wrong Islands this morning. They would not have had the capacity to cover the remainder of the programme.
FYI, an a/c went tech in LPL late yesterday afternoon (DC generator problem after pushback). An E195 was drafted in at short notice to cover the remainder of that aircraft's schedule. The tech a/c was fixed overnight in LPL but was out of position this morning - hence the delay on the first IOM-LPL.

The dash 400 has the range to reach places like AGP ALC so would these two routes be benifical for FlyBe if they started them from the IOM.
And why dont you have chraters to places like this in the summer. It seems even the smallest of INT airports have charters(NWI has a few)??

It would be nice, but there simply isn't the demand. The Geneva flights last winter were mostly hit-or-miss, and I doubt they'll be as many this winter.
You do have to remember, the Q400 does have the range, but it also needs a a good load of people each time to make it pay, what with fuel being the cost it is now. Plus you have to look at the schedules, doing flights like these loses a hull for most of the day, so the other two will need to cover all the usual flights, and that would mean less MAN and LPL rotations. Otherwise, you'd have to fly in a fourth hull and crew to operate it which pushes the price right up too.
You can be certain, that if it is possible to make it pay, Flybe commercial will look at it. They don't miss many opportunities if they get a sniff at them.
Yesterday's delays were the result of that tech Q4 plus a last minute a/c change to get one of the others off to EXT for maintenance that couldn't wait and couldn't be fitted in earlier. Shame it was a Friday too, but the crews did their best.
the end result was about 11 flights late, out of 25 operated. A bad day granted, but you never hear about the rest that ran like clockwork though.......

A new name for Euromanx?
Hi,
I looked up Euromanx on Companies House today and got nothing. So I put the Company No. up and got AVIATION MOBILE DESIGN SERVICES as the new name for Euromanx registered on 3 July 08. I thought Euromanx shareholders had agreed to go for a winding up order? Has someone bought them out already? Anyone know who Avionics Mobile Design Services is?

The liquidation in the IOM is for Euromanx Limited, co number 106272C. It is an IOM company and therefore will not appear on Companies House site. If you are so inclined you can purchase company documents in the public domain from the Isle of Man Companies Registry on the Isle of Man Financial Supervision website.

Thanks for that Manxman. I'm still slightly confused - sis the IOM Company belong to the same people who owned the UK registered company (RS, TS, DM)? Which registered Company was it that flew the last plane out of IOM on May 9th?
