Gloucster is wll capable of anything M2 might throw at - it had an Arran ATR72 a few weeks back for a race meeting at Cheltenham and no doubt a few big ones this week for the race festival.

With the aviation experts on this thread I am surprised that they have not started their own airline.
With all this information on how it should not be done investors will be desparate to give them £10m to get it right.
Just think low fares, B737s or A319s slots at LHR and LGW, joining every dot on the UK and EU map from IOM ...how could it fail!

Manx2's 'secondary' base seems to be at Blk, as there will be 4 daily flight from IOM this summer. Could this be a carry on from an IOM-BLK route?
Such as:
IOM-BLK-GLS
IOM-BLK-EDI
IOM-BLK-ABZ?
Time will tell, but certainly showing that M2 are prepared to go that extra distance to provide their customers with the right service!
Especially now with the new Metro in M2 colours and the £26 fares to BLK and BFS/BHD!

Frequency over volume. That has been the success of the airline, and has made them no.1 on the Belfast routes.
If this is true, we could see a based plane at BLK. Could this be the operator that has been talked about in the BLK forum over the past few months? This could certainly show where the new external route will base from....
M2 website currently showing for late July onwards:
Mon-Thu x4 daily (current Fri schedule)
Fri x5 daily (current Fri schedule with addition of 19:35-19:50 turnaround in BLK)
Sat x3 daily (Current Mon and Thu schedule)
Sun x2 daily (remains at current schedule)
This means:
26 return flights per week
884/988 seats per week (depending on config of 17/19 seats)!
Looking good for M2!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, M2 operating 5 flights on this Friday only. Yet only to IOM. Is this a delivery flight? Leaves BLK 10 mins after normal scheuduled departure (12.00 and 11.50)? Anybody know what for?

Manx2 @ BLK
I was thinking that a Balckpool-Jersey flight could be on the cards?? This was a route that Manx Airlines used to do in the 90's & 80's. G-OJET used to fly DUB IOM BLK JER BLK IOM DUB!!
Needless to say Just because JE did it doesnt mean M2 would. But I think that Jersey airport will be very active in trying to win new business and perhaps a small aircraft could do well on this route? What does anyone else think.

Could be a charter, the extra BLK flight on Friday, Jet 2. Maybe treaclecat could find out for us?
Incidentally, I flew IOM-BLK-IOM yesterday and found it good! Despite the Let being somewhat basic the flight was smooth and quick. The other airlines on the island could well take some tips from Manx2. And we had an English F/O on the way back. Nice to see.

Not everything is always as it seems or as it is rumoured, things sometimes have a habit of changing at the last minute.
We all wish FS check in and despatch staff the best of luck for next week-end because something tells me that they well may need every bit of luck they can get not only with the handling of the new flights but on a day when the clocks change too after all they dont usually get up that early on a Sunday!!!!!

Those extra Manx 2 flights were charters and good for Manx 2 they were full!!! More to come too I believe.

Anyone know why the airport is taking so long to issue its pax figures this month ? I have been told its down to staff sickness, but thats a bit of a lame excuse, is the new director having second thoughts about making the numbers public perhaps. Come on guys get your finger out !

I wasnt being sarcastic at all I do wish FS all the best and the staff of MR too its not going to be easy for any of them over the next few weeks, two handling agents in competition with each other handling the same flights could cause problems but I know the staff of both companies are not interested in the politics of who has the contracts all they are interested in is making sure the job is done efficiently and proffessionally. MR are very proffessional and will work hard to make the transition period as easy as possible for everyone concerned and I would like to think FS are going to do the same.

Strange how things change isnt it only a few months ago FS were in deep trouble and everyone was prepared to criticise them now its the turn of MR its the old saying "Lets kick people while they are down" rearing its ugly head again. Lets all just stop sniping at each other and get on with the job

treaclecat, It wasn't meant to sound like you were being sarcastic, in my post i wished luck to flight support and it sounded like you though I was being sarcastic.... but anyway. You are right it will be strange to see the same flights handled by two seperate companies. Flight Suport have come through their rough patch and I am sure Manx Regional will do the same.
