I don't think they've got them yet. When they do they'll put them on to IOM-GLO.
Enjoy the flight JNP - it'll be interesting to see how the GLO-JER loads are - the CAA stats seem quite low but not sure if they include IOM-JER pax or not.
Anyone heard anything further on rumoured GLO-GLA (or is it PIK)?

One FLM Dornier 228 (ex Islandsflug) was undergoing maintenance last week in DTM.

D-IFLM was flying in the UK today but with FKI900 as the callsign. Looks like it was heading for Blackpool or Ronaldsway.

Manx2 should open Angelsey and Carlisle. Gloucester seems to have been a success, these 2 underserved airports have links with the IOM, 19 seater ideal.

It's funny how history repeats itself.
Cambrian got swallowed up by BA and a few years down the line they cut the domestic market and left the IoM. Years later you substitute Cambrian for Manx Airlines and the same happens.
Now we see Manx 2 working Gloucester and a suggestion of Carlisle is made. Go back 30 years and Dan Air flew these routes -and Bournemouth, Bristol, Aberdeen, Teesside and East Midlands. Wheels go round...

I'm hoping my July GLO-JER flight will be by the D28. Then I can fly EMA-IOM to get on the SWM, then IOM-BFS/BHD to get on the L4T. Of course, substitutions occur, so it's not possible to guarantee, but... Anyway, NM has some great fares, e.g. EMA-IOM from £39 one-way all-in, and IOM-BFS/BHD from £15 one-way all-in. Brilliant fares to get on very different aircraft.

Manx2 places record aircraft order
Manx2 announced earlier today a record new order for 136 Do228's for delivery during 2009. Speaking to Manx Radio earlier today their MD said "we assume FlyBe and EuroManx will kill each other off over the next year so we want to be around to pick up the pieces. We'll be flying a new regular service to MAN departing every 10 mins from 0700 and to LGW every 7 minutes from 0704 with a last flight departing at 2106. we have chosen the Do228 as its STOL characteristics will enable us to also to land on the roof of T5 LHR, restoring the islands much missed link." ENDS

Correct Jabberwok - the D228 was into IOM at 1824 from Bremen then out to Wahlstedt at 2040. I assume a proving flight.

Has anyone forgotten how big EuroM started and dwindled to 2 a/c in the space of 1-2 years. It won't be long till M2 bubble bursts.
Has anyone flown on a L410, J32 or MLiner? Bloody noisy and uncomfortable. Plus, they're not that cheap either .

They have an extremely good setup on the Isle and they are very well liked by the Islanders.
Lets hope more is to come from the 19 seat asassins!

I'm flying GLO-JER in July, hopefully on the D28 - if, of course, it's delivered by then. ;-)
Will hopefully fly EMA-IOM-BHD/BFS in early Sept - for £56 incl. taxes and card fees. What a brilliant price! Ideally I'll then get on the SWM and L4T.
