Can't Manx2 see the potential market they have open to themselves. Bournemouth, Liverpool, Glasgow I or Prestwick to name but a few!
Wouldn`t these routes be perfect for their 19-seaters at 3x weekly or 1-2x daily??

And why would Manx2 want to go head to head with the big boys?
GLA - operated already by Loganair
LPL - operated already by Flybe
They would be much better going for niche routes or to airports which have been served in the past but dropped, or only operate seasonally, because of demand. SOU would be better placed than BOH I expect.

Manx2 have been operating a night stop at BFS since the start of the winter schedule, departing BFS at 0720. I would have thought that if they were going after the early monday departure for the business traveller they would have used BHD instread as it being in the city etc.
However, with the small number of seats on say a LET410 surely the costs of doing a night stop must be prohibitive, crew stayover etc. Also not sure what the loads would be like on a Monday morning early departure and hence the yield???
Does anyone know how the loads have been on this early departure?
Surprises me that Manx2 wouldnt do say a 0645 departure from IOM to arrive BFS say 0715 and then depart at 0735 etc.
Any thoughts on same?

I am wondering to what extent passengers are using Manx2 to make connections at places like LBA, BHD and EMA? Given that one cannot book through, there is always the risk of being stranded if you do not allow a couple of hours for the connection - unless Manx2 is known to operate like a clockwork and has a brilliant on-time performance.
Anopther question - as per Jethros, Manx2 now has 7 aircraft on strength, 3 D28s, 3 L410 and 1 J31. Seems to be a bit excessive when looking at their schedule - so how many aircraft do they keep busy on a daily basis?

Noticed the website has had a revamp and is more user friendly than before. Pity they didn't take the opportunity to make the timetables a bit clearer, they're still very confusing.
Also, they still refer to the Metroliners on their list of aircraft but these left some months ago. Are they to return from Spain at the end of the month?

Manx2 have got a Rescue Fee policy like EZY. If you miss a connection they book you onto next available for a flat 30 quid

If my memory serves me rightly, the PSO contracts have a requirement that the bidder holds an AOC and an operating licence and this certainly used to be basic qualifying criteria before you could submit a bid. As M2 uses other companies' AOCs and doesn't hold any form of licence itself, it may well be the case that it couldn't actually bid for a PSO as it wouldn't be able to meet the requirements of it. Rules might have changed since then, but I'm pretty sure that this would not be helpful to their efforts.
