Just looking at the BA Cityflyer timetable form LCY on a random couple of days and the first flight from LCY (8.50am) seem to land in IOM at 10.10am but not leave again until 12.25pm.
I wonder if there would there be time to squeeze in a quick return hop to BHD or LPL during this time? It might provide an opportunity, particularly if fares with Easyjet are high.

Too much risk of delay

With regards to the London City service the timetable is being adjusted slightly from the start of the summer schedules, presumably to take account of the longer flight times on the ATR.
Hopefully Stobart will take the LPL, MAN and BHX services which they were already preparing to operate from the end of this month on behalf of Flybe. Presumably any delay is down to them having to establish a reservations system.

If they could do a deal to operate under the BA Cityflyer name that would be best, but I don't think that would happen.
Operating under Aer Lingus Regional where they already have a relationship or Loganair would be much more likely. Not sure though how much of a strong brand image either of them have outside their own niche markets of Ireland and Scotland. However what they both could provide is a sales platform/booking engine, which is pretty much why they operated as a Flybe franchise.
As on outside bet I wouldn't completely rule out them operating under a Virgin brand.

Good news! The question is for how long is the "interim period" the article states? Also, what about MAN and BHX? I would have thought MAN would be a lucrative option given the connectivity options there, plus not everyone would fancy having to make their way between LPL and MAN on ground transport to connect to another flight.
