MANX2

[MUFC_fan]

Erm...these will be routes AWAY from the IOM...

[OMGitsDAVE]

So Durham Tees Valley gain a flight? Things are looking up a bit now!

[Chitty]

yer these flights would be away from the isle of man manx2 are doing flight away from the isle of man flight like iom to mee to lcy would be the same as iom the glo to jer

[OMGitsDAVE]

So in effect, MME receives flights from IOM & LCY? Or what?

[Chitty]

no manx2 are thinking off Expanding to other airports outside the isle of man and i was thiking of routes manx2 might want to do

IOM Amsterdam in a metro - now that would work. 2x daily.

[GLOworm]

Strange as it sounds I believe it IS Galway - Cork

[Chitty]

manx2 are doing a new route from cork to galway go to New Route Launched Between Galway and Cork! on Flickr - Photo Sharing! for the prove

[GLOworm]

I thank you! From the 2nd July

Cork-Galway Manx2

is it true where is the information and who many times weekly will it operate?

No sign of in anywhere else?

[Chitty]

i think manx2 next new route will be from Anglesey to cardiff which Highland Airways use to do

[ALLMCC]

Cork - Galway details are in the on line timetable although not yet bookable. I wonder would Belfast City to Blackpool direct work instead of via IOM. I know Jet2 do BFS - BLK but a 737 is really the wrong a/c type for this sort of route.

[GLOworm]

It's double daily weekdays and once daily weekends I believe.... Not so sure on the Welsh PSO though... I think you need an AOC for that one. Also there was a rumour a while back that they wanted a 30-seater on the route. Not that the loads needed it - I think the AMs just wanted to stretch their legs!

Didn't Jetstream Express do that route a couple of years ago ?

[Chitty]

yer Jetstream Express did do an blackpool to belfast route but it didnt do well so thay stopped flying from blackpool

GWY ORK

This is a bizarre choice as far as I can see. If there is an 0745 departure from GWY and back from ORK that leave the morning to afternoon stretch to fly somewhere else, maybe reopen the GWY BHD route? Or what about IOM?

However, when I heard 'Manx' and Galway in the same sentence I thought of Euromanx when they put a 146 into GWY to do LCY, IOM, FAO, AGP and CDG!!! At the face of it that seemed like a great idea.

I wish Noel Hayes and his team the best of luck on this venture, hopefully it succeeds and maybe some other services will pop up too.

I see that Chitty's flickr link rferring to the new route has been removed

Chester On The Cards???

Aparntly there starting up the chester route again, this time as a sceduled service!!! GOOD CHOICE!!!

[IOMspotter]

sounds like an old Manx Airlines or Air UK schedule . IOM CEG GLO LCY ORK GWY BHD IOM

[Kavs8]

The Galway-Cork route will be a very good service. There is currently a six-times daily Cork-Galway bus service (65-seater) and its one of Bus Éireann's most profitable routes.

I think next (hopefully) there could be a ORK-IOM, ORK-BFS/BHD, GWY-BFS/BHD.
