Euromanx- 2

[The Shop Floor]

As per a recent full page Euromanx advertisment:

'maybe' you should have flown Euromanx to Manchester

'maybe not'


'maybe' they should have chartered replacements...

'maybe' they couldn't afford it


'maybe' they'll be in business come April...

'maybe' not.


Sorry, what goes around, comes around.

Fred, it's all bulls**t.
All that blurb in the in-flight mag is all propaganda.

Last one out close the door because it's on it's way out come April. I know a few of the old Manx Airline crew from there and it seems he needs to convince his staff, not just his passengers.

Bye bye AustroManx, hello Flybe.

[TechProblem]

Bravo Charlie back in operating IOM-MAN-IOM for the 725/6 its fixed, EI a/c is ok to do't know about BB though.

[IOMspotter]

so who is pouring the buckets of £££££s into Euros right now. just saw the December passenger figs for BHD. 35% load factor for the month
Someone must have more money than sense FlyBe now have 2/3 of the MAN market and even VLM have taken 25% of LCY up from 10% last year. When FlyBe start LPL in March you'll see the blood if they dont do something

[fredtheanorak]

I'm sure they will keep taking your money right up to the day the Austrian CAA says Nein. So you can book for April but whether the flight will operate - with loads on BHD and FlyBe coming onto LPL is a different question

[IOMspotter]

Week ending: Sun 20th Jan
Flights ontime: 71.7%
Flights within 1 hr: 92.8%

Is this weeks joke Euromanx claim. but if you count the many LCY,BHD,MAN and LPL flights cancelled last week the true figures are less than 60% on timeand round 79% within an hour. So much for keep knocking FlyBe and the advertsing about the islands punctual airline. Looks to me that claim goes to LogiBear and Eastern

[nospeedrestriction9]

It can't be a business, it must be a registered charity. If they wanted to make money then they must be able to see by now that there are serious flaws in the business model.

Let's hope the investors cut through the BS**T and realise before it's too late!

[Haven't a clue]

I'm sure you all enjoy having a go at EMX, but remember that competition leads to low fares (Emerald vs EMX on LPL say), and if your attacks help to drive them to the wall we the IoM pax will be the losers.

Heard today that both Dash's have been sold to Africa but that J41's no longer under consideration.

In addition, Jethro's UK Fleets show EI-REJ as being due for imminent disposal by Aer Arann, in Sweden, although presumably they can replace it with another ATR from their core fleet.

[fredtheanorak]

unless the plan is just to shut up shop as soon as all the planes have gone.

[IOMspotter]

I heard the buyer is some airline in Africa that an english company called Lonro are involved with.

EMX cancellations

A friend here in IOM has tickets for the Liverpool FA Cup tie on Saturday.

While waiting for the match ticket to be confirmed, he was watching the EMX fares and flights and planned to do a day return. However, when he came to book yesterday, the last LPL-IOM at 20.00 had disappeared from the website.

He didn't believe it was full, as the fare had been cheap the previous day, even though EMX told him on the phone that it was sold out. When pressed, they admitted it was cancelled due to insufficient PAX. The first rotations on Sunday are also missing from the booking engine, so presumably cancelled for the same reason.

A sign of the times at EMX ?

[euromanxdude]

re.

for your information, flight 3W424 is still operating on schedule departing at 20:00 with a FULL flight. Hope this puts the record straight.

[Tonyq]

Happy to be corrected, and glad PAX loads can be so healthy at times on LPL, despite overall trend.

Perhaps there will be enough room for two operators........... at least during the football season..

[nospeedrestriction9]

TonyQ- Another great achievement by AustroManx, actually filling all 66 seats with cheap fares for such a busy weekend!

[euromanxdude]

.

correction 68 seats. yes it is busy. with football fans, vfr traffic, and sports teams.

[manx crab]

Of course all this speculation would end if EMX issued a press release with what is happening after their aircraft are sold

[IOMspotter]

sold to the dark continent it seems..... speculation of course not helped by them cancelling loads of BHD flights in March . Sorry Euromanx dude your bosses have lost the plot

[euromanxdude]

.

IOMspotter.....its euromanxdude not Euromanx dude, hehehe
