Of course it will be foggy and the great moment will pass un-noticed....
And sadly JNP will be trapped on the island unable to return home as the great God Manannan hurls down his cloak!

Manx2 reaches 100,000 customers
14.04.08
Isle of Man based airline Manx2 has reached a major milestone today, with its 100,000th passenger flying on one of the its seven routes from the islands. The airline operates flights on routes to Belfast (Belfast City and International), Blackpool, Leeds, Gloucester (M5), East Midlands and Jersey.
Manx2 communications director, James Filleul, said: ‘When we launched the business from scratch in July 2006 we offered 3 routes, and 72 services each week. That has grown in less than two years to 7 routes, and our new summer timetable offers at least 184 flights every week, fares fares from just £15 [online single including tax].’
The airline has also just boosted its aircraft fleet with the arrival of a new aircraft, a nineteen seat Dornier 228 . It is also working on a new maintenance base and company headquarters, which will be opening later this year at Isle of Man airport.

Lets hope the 200,000 arrives next year!
Keep up the good work lads and lasses!
Anybody know if Manx2 are now making a profit? If not, they must have deep pockets!

Article from the Gloucester Citizen. Anyone have any idea what the possible new route is?
An airline flying to Gloucestershire Airport from the Isle of Man says it has not been affected by the problems which caused the collapse of another Manx operator.Euromanx announced its closure last week, citing increased fuel costs as a reason for its demise, but Manx2.com, which flies between the island and Staverton, is doing well.
Communications director James Filleul said: "We are not suffering the same problems. We're doing very well indeed."
Mr Filleul added that the airline had recently added flights to its route between Douglas and Gloucestershire.
He said: "We are looking at putting one more route into Staverton, it's been so successful."

Maybe we can put the two rumours from BLK and GLO together to create a Manx2 service from BLK to GLO. If Manx2 were to base a plane in BLK and launch to new routes it could satisfy both rumours!

I've got three NM flights booked:
25/7: GLO-JER = hopefully D28 = £69 paid
2/9: BHD-IOM = hopefully L4T = £15 paid
2/9: IOM-LBA = hopefully SWM = £49 paid
Looking forward to all three.

Looks like Manx2's base fare has risen on the BLK route to £24 o/w inc. taxes. Obviously I have not checked all of the dates but that seems the case.
Is it the end of the £15 offer or is the fuel taking it's toll even on those machines that seem to run on air?
Still being advertised at £15.

Yeh, I was planning to book a day return 22 Nov and they have risen to £24 but they changed last week to £39 then have dropped again so they may still be twinking with the fares.

Any news on the rumoured additional route from Gloucester? I would have thought Belfast would be a good fit or, if looking to add to their Channel Islands destinations, maybe Guernsey?

Has anyone seen the prices for checked in baggage now?!
They used to be £2 at the airport - now they want £4 online or £6 at the airport!
Amazing!

Its so they can still advertise cheap flights for like £19.99 without tax, and people will be like, oo thats cheap, and fly, but then there are hidden charges, all low cost airlines do it these days, because of other rising costs... FUEL!!!

But the total to-pay amount appears before you click book, so if you don't like it you can choose not to purchase the flight(s).
I'm looking forward to my GLO-JER flight next Friday. Hopefully it'll be on the D28. I've got two more in Sept: BHD-IOM (£15 including taxes) and IOM-LBA. I'm hoping to get on both the L4T and the SWM.
