under pressure?
I'm told their bookings the last two weeks have been well down so presumably these increases are to try and regain lost revenue from ancilliary charges. Still not as expensive as FlyBe but will they start charging for bags next same as FlyBe and Manx2?

Sale of Flight support
I'm told Flight Support has been sold to the buyout guys "AB" for £1.00 plus they took on some of the FS/Euromanx debt. Any more info anyone?

This is true, but FS had no debt, with having the mutli million pound contract in Manchester with FlyBe.
AB im told are a Big Cleaning company based at LGW. FS dont have this to offer at any station so a good move for both company's.

FS make money its known. Flight Support is a healthy growing company. Airbase as far as i am aware do not own the shareholding directly. A person who owns 50% of airbase UK has purchased the former EuroManx shares in FS. Because of this he is now a substantial shareholder in both. I stand to be corrected though!! 
Also the rumours that have been doing the rounds at IOM of EuroManx changing handling agents are unfounded I have it on good authority that they have no wish to change. Besides both EM and FS are locked into a longterm contract!!
probably If anything more contracts coming the way of FS than leaving FS.

Was on the Rock yesterday and saw just one EMX dash 8 with the ex-Air Wales ATR42 G-CDFF (which also wears Flightline and Aurigny stickers) subbing for the other.
OE-HBC took off at l;unchtime and didn't return in time for the LCY. The ATR (due to do a MAN) then fell ill and both flights were canx

No good for a daytrip though.
By paying the fare you are proving the demand is there at that price point, I assume you are not the only one willing to pay for the massive convenience of a day return, as well as using LCY.
A nice little earner until VLM up their game and bring some more competition...

Same daytrip to LGW would be £324 in total. For the price difference you could get a chauffeur driven car to and from your destination in London and lunch at the Ritz. You must really dislike either FlyBe or Gatwick.

Hate both. The few times I have tried to use FlyBe for business they have been nothing short of a disaster - and some of that has been due to the third world hole that is Gatwick South Terminal.
LCY to my London office - 25 mins. The additional time I save in the commute pays for the additional cost alone. Then factor in LCY being a great airport (though crowded) to commute through and its a winner as far as I'm concerned.
I do agree with the other poster though - if VLM offered flights which enabled a day trip they would have my business without any question.

This just off the Energy FM News website:
"Euromanx buyout
It's been confirmed EuroManx's parent company has been subject to a management buyout.
Euromanx was one of several companies that came under the umbrella of Corporate Jet Services.
The new organisation is called Quest Aviation Services. No press statement has yet been made.
The Department of Transport says it's waiting to discuss the implications of the buyout with the company.
The Commercial Director of EuroManx Seamus Burne resigned last week"
