LCY
Which would explain post of BA City Flyer looking at IOM-LCY? . As the only jet service to London itd do well and give good connections to european financial centres avoiding the dredead LGW

I reckon the real story is that the new management is trying to get the cash back from when the previous lot bought the hulls. If the sale goes through, I reckon the Dashs will still be there, only leased instead of owned.
As for Cityflyer....the size of the market for LCY is just too small. Treading on FlyBE's toes is a non starter as the History between and links of the two companys preclude that kind of competition.
My money's on the minimum of change next year.....but who know's in aviation!

LCY
theres 4 LCY rotations a day-3 Euromanx and 1 VLM. Morning and evening with a 146 would kill these and the sort of pax on this rout would pay lots more to fly BA and get there airmiles back

BA CityFlyer Would have a better use for the slots than IOM if any do become availble. Why though is there a general consensus that EuroManx is in so much trouble?? you would be suprised!

Flew LCY-IOM week before last. JS was on the plane. Pre boarding he spent ages on his mobile apparantly trying to sort out why we had a lousy stand allocation (= bus) and other matters. Not the actions of a captain on a sinking ship, methinks.
Sale/leaseback is a sensible business strategy. I wish them many more years as a carrier to/from the island.

How about
1 Sales and marketing director quits and not replaced
2 both planes put up for sale
3 reservations "outsourced"
4 price war with FlyBe on Moanchester
5 half empty planes on Belfast
6 20% drop on Liverpool
7 Lost market share to VLM on City
Apart from that theres no reason at all

Having just traveled with them to Man over this weekend, they must be doing something right. Plane was pretty well full in both directions and on time.The only thing that let them down was the crap baggage service in the IOM
Now as someone who has avoided flying with them since all the WS induced nonsense with all the attendant "rescheduling" and unreliability, it took a lot to change to them. I changed to them because of the continuing unreliability of their competitor to Man, and before ADC2604 flames me, the equivalent Flybe flights were badly delayed.
Let us hope the rumours are not true and they will have the capital and the time to build a solid future

Plus LTN going double daily which will have some impact on their LCY service. Add to that the new 15 GBP fares by Manx2 on BHD and BLK and all in all not a nice week for Euromanx....
