I think one of the Let's (OK-RDA) has been returned, that's why OK-ASA has joined the fleet.
Also, it looks like EC-ITP and EC-GPS have also both left Fraggle Rock leaving D-CNAG and D-CSAL.
Then that leaves the 3 D228's now that D-ILKA is in service, 1 for CEG and 1 for GLO. That leaves 1 for charter work, or will it be put on EMA?

Re Gloucestershire Airport could be providing flights across Europe this summer
It does already as it connects Isle of Man (Europe) with the Channel Isles (Europe) ;-) See my trip report on GLO at www.travelreports.webs.com (follow quicklink to Manx2GLO)
Whilst with Manx2, anyone looking at today's arrivals and departures will have seen:
Isle of Man IOM/EGNS - 21 Jan 09
Arrivals
NM851 Chester NM Manx2 09:15 (CEG/EGNR)
NM859 Chester NM Manx2 17:35
Depart
NM854 Chester NM Manx2 10:30
These are charter flights for the Manx DHSS to NHS hospital care. Whilst I do not know which destination hospitals, I must remark that my brother died of cancer in a Wirral hospital not far from Chester so no jokes pls.
However, Manx2 might be interested in interest for this route as scheduled flights

Surprised they didn't transfer the passengers through BLK as the NHS do send a lot of people to Blackpool hospital which I believe is a big one which caters for a number of serious illnesses and operations.
Doubt we will see Chester as a scheduled destination in the near future. More likely to see places such as DSA and Carlisle.

Does anybody know when/if Manx2 will be launching their TT schedule. I doubt they will add much to BLK but BHD seems to be expanded quite a lot plus LBA got some more flights last year.
Manx2 may go head to head with BE and offer the bus service like the last two years but I doubt it. Do they have the aircraft to do such as operation this year?

Some locals are apparantly protesting that they have to crouch to sit in the small planes - and the authorities are under pressure to allow them to travel uncrouched to LPL with BE....

Manx 2 and Alderney
What is happening on Fraggle Rock with Manx 2??
Is there more ideas on routes that they are looking into??? the reason is last Friday they were seen operation a D228 in and out of Alderney in the Channel Island , what can this mean?
Could there be a certain person in Manx 2 looking at moving some of the operation into Alderney???
At the moment Alderney only has 2 schedule services no the Alderney-Southampton by Aurigny and the Alderney-Guernsey operated by Blueislands and Aurigny.
So what can be going on with taking a D228 into and out of Alderney?????

GBALU53 - ref Manx2 turning up with the 228 in ACI
I wonder whether there is any link at all between this and Aurigny?
The trislanders won't last forever, so it would be no great surprise to anyone that Aurigny would be interested in looking at performance of an alternative sub-20 seater in the islands.
I do also wonder whether there would be reasonable argument to suggest that, as (due States of Guernsey ownership) Aurigny's main raison d'etre is to protect service on the GCI-LGW after which, arguably, it is to encourage tourist traffic to Guernsey, then its core business clearly is now the ATR72 operation. As such, and in face of competition with Blue Islands, might it be a reasonable conclusion that they might consider offloading the inter-island operation to another player with a low cost operation and the right sort of equipment available to take it forward on a profitable basis?

Aurigny due to politics will not drop Alderney. The airline is in fact the flag carrier of Alderney Aurigny is the norman name for Alderney. Also after LGW the ACI-SOU is GRs best performing route. The operator of the Manx2 Do228 has also been seen in GCI talking to GR.

BOH
As you are probably aware the Blue Islands service to the channel Isles has pulled out of BOH, however there is a bit of a rumour going around that Manx 2 may step in and provide some sort of schedule. Anyone have any news on this happening.

An old rumor going about. It was based on the fact that the 228 was down in Alderney. However it was not there on-behalf of Manx2 Blue Islands but being evaluated by Aurigny. Also the operators of the 228 have been seen in GCI again talking to Aurigny.
