Citywing
With routes from the Isle of Man Airport seemingly disappearing one at a time, week by week - does this increase the chance we will see more routes from this ticketing agent?
In November 2012, Manx2 rebranded as Citywing and picked a new logo with a strong similiarity to that of Tame in Ecuador. It ended up with Citywing agreeing to change their logo to something else.
Both companies still seem to have a very similiar blue pseudo-bird logo. Anyone know what's happening with the matter ?

What was the reason that heads of Govt needed to be involved in the es?tablishment of an air route ?
Is Citywing beholden to political pressure, or did Govt have to provide some sort of cash subsidy ?

Really?
"seems their chambers of commerce can offer cash incentives to lure airlines from other Scottish airports". I'd love to see the evidence behind this claim Mr Curry.
Yup, common denominator indeed. Any opportunity to disparage Glasgow is this poster's raison d'etre. Even route announcements at his "beloved" airport are twisted to be a dig at Glasgow.

And you reckon Gordon Dewar hasn't spoken to the various public bodies in Edinburgh about doing similar? Get a life. If he hasn't looked at all sources of available 'support monies' both public and private then he is naive and incompetent, both of which I doubt if he is. You really want to remove that huge chip from your shoulder.

The fact that they are allowed to continue this pretence is down to a loophole in the CAA regulations relating to aircraft with 19 seats or fewer. If Citywing operated something "slightly larger" than a J31 they would have to become a real airline, with the oversight and safety systems that go with that.
This is not to cast any aspersions at all on Links Air, who fly for them and who by all accounts are a reputable carrier. But as the Manx2 report made clear, the "ticketing agency" wasn't carrying out any meaningful oversight or auditing of the carriers who flew for it. For the passengers it was therefore the luck of the draw whether you got a good carrier (e.g. Links Air) or you didn't (Air Lada/Flightline BCN).

Manx2
Went to manx2.com and the detail on the page made for interesting reading. Stated that Manx2 ceased trading end of 2012 and all queries should be directed to Spain. Clearly little changed except the brand on the aircraft and the metros were gone ... They did a good job of distancing themselves from the reputation damage that was manx2 and the cork crash ...
