Flybe - 8
Double-daily MANLUX is very aggressive considering Luxair's efforts to make a daily RJ145 work. If the route had feed from the Flybe hub so that it was effectively a UK-Luxembourg service with connections from EDI, GLA, BHD, IOM, ABZ, INV, SOU, EXT etc then it might help, but the schedules seem to pitch it firmly at the MAN-originating market. The airline simply does not seem to be using its MAN hub to support new routes like RTM and LUX when they stand a far better chance with this domestic feed in place!
You can`t always have it both ways, if you allowed for connecting flights it would not get way until 09.00 and return would have to be back by tea time so no business time in Luxembourg but it does work
the otherway on some routes or you come Manchester the day
before as you would have to at Heathrow

Any more news on the Blue Islands franchise agreement? I can't see any mention of it on the websites of BE or SI, and ticketing remains very separate. Will it actually go ahead do people think?
Not seen anything on that, but it appears that BEE will be using VLM to operate some flights out of MAN, starting in a few weeks:
VLM Airlines-Operated Flights (14th March - 31st August 2016)
Looks like this is a more wide-ranging arrangement than just IOM flights as was suggested in an earlier post.

A: No, firearms cannot be carried on VLM-operated flights.
Anybody would think Flybe allow firearms on their aircraft freely....

It could be more to do with the news that Ryanair are due to announce new routes shortly from Belfast International to both Liverpool and Newcastle.
Liverpool Airport's MD Andrew Cornish announced on BBC Radio Merseyside today that Ryanair are to commence services between Liverpool and Belfast.
