Actually the muffins can actually be quite nice if you get them the first month they're on display.....Wouldn't risk the curry though.....
A pack of sweets from the shop next door is all I'd dare, and then again, it's cheaper to drive up the road to the petrol station to get them!
Oh for a Costa's instead!

That's because the muffins are packaged and imported. They aren't prepared in Hell's Kitchen lol.
How they havn't been closed down I will never know! I love the way they spray the Rice with Water to keep it moist, imminent food poisioning possible!

FS01, I think you're dream of Costa coming here to Ronaldsway is a distant dream, or the hallucinations from the Curry, coffee or anything else from Hells Kitchen that's not packaged.
When will the Airport Director face up to the fact that things need to change in that place, it's embarracing!

Re Euromanx
Just looked on Companies house to see the current status of Euromanx - looking at documents filed there is no mention of liquidation and the company is active under the name Avionics Mobile Design services Ltd. Very confusing - does anyone know what this company is and what did happen to Euromanx? Is this another management buyout?

Further to my post of 5/9 seems BCI have beaten everyone to the SOU JER leg but still leaves IOM SOU needing a service
Come on Mr L, 3 x daily IOM SOU pls, IOM BHX down to once only. Scrap NCL

Euromanx at Companies House
paulzenith, you're looking in the wrong country. The Euromanx that's in liquidation was an Isle of Man company, not a UK one. Try going to Financial Supervision Commission - Companies Registry Public View and searching on Euromanx there.

Private Jet Company
HI, Does anyone have any information about the Private Jet Company which was mentioned in the local press lately. Is it a management company or do they have an AOC? What is this about them starting an FBO? Thanks, Wingspanner

LPL Air Cargo Flights
Sounds like the rock is getting a cargo link with LPL:
Isle of Man Air Cargo Link Returns
Date Submitted: 25/09/2008 17:18:56Source: JQAfter an absence of more than two years, the Isle of Man will again have a scheduled daily cargo link with Liverpool. Janes Aviation has announced today that it will commence the morning arrival and evening departing flights to Liverpool from next Monday, 29th September.
The new Janes service will overcome a major problem that the Island has struggled with for two years – the ability to be able to offer an overnight service for cargo to and from the Island.
Flights will be able to deliver cargo to the Island first thing every weekday morning, departing from Liverpool at 07.00 and arriving at Isle of Man Airport at 07.35, so that Island companies can benefit from deliveries to their door at the start of the business day. The evening flight to Liverpool will consolidate consignments at the end of the day to depart from the Island at 18.20, arriving at Liverpool at 18.55.
Janes Aviation will use a British Aerospace BAe748 aircraft for the schedule, capable of carrying up to 6.25 tonnes of cargo and with a substantial volume available of 55 cubic metres.
Freight operators and the Island’s commercial community have welcomed the return of the route, last operated in April 2006. For the Airport, this will mean the reversal of falling air cargo tonnage passing through the Airport, which collapsed from some 2,300 tonnes in 2005, to just 550 tonnes in 2007.
Ann Reynolds, Airport Director for the Isle of Man Airport, welcomed the return of the scheduled cargo link.
She said: “The figures speak for themselves, with air cargo falling by over 75% when the previous service ceased operation, so I am sure that the overnight service will rapidly regenerate the volume of air cargo passing through the Airport. I am delighted that Janes Aviation has decided to restore this valuable route and I understand that it has already had a very positive response from the Island’s freight industry.”
Janes Aviation is based at Southend Airport and has a fleet of two BAe748s - a well proven, reliable twin turboprop aircraft. The aircraft for the Isle of Man to Liverpool route will be based at Liverpool but will remain at the Isle of Man during each weekday.
Andy Janes, Managing Director and founder of the airline, is confident that the route will develop steadily over the coming months.
“We know that the demand for an overnight cargo operation from the Isle of Man is as strong as ever and we will be offering a simple, cost effective solution,” he said.
“In the past, the service supported two flights daily, so we are confident that the capacity on our single daily service will soon be taken up. After all, with the availability once again of an overnight product, businesses and residents on the Island will quickly choose this option and I anticipate that additional flights may be needed in the future.”
Minister for Transport, David Anderson MHK, said: “It was a major blow for the commercial sector, and the Airport, when the previous air cargo link was lost two years ago, so it is great to see the link re-established. It’s important, however, that the commercial sector makes good use of the new service to ensure its continuing viability.”
If it works then it's good news!

I hear BE are cutting both LPL and MAN to 3x daily this winter
. Is this so they can drop a plane and keep all the NW on one airplane. Shurely not?
would cause mayhem when its claggie.

Its mainly Tues and Wed that see cuts on LPL and MAN, as they operate 3 and 4 flights respectively on those days. Mon, Thurs, Fri BE will operate 4 x LPL and 5 x MAN. Same sort of thing for BHX aswell. LTN is cut to single daily bar Wed, and SOU is cut altogether.
In total, in the region of 17 or 18 flights a week have been cut. Still using all island based 3 Dash 8 Q400 for winter
