BACF have been allocated additional slots at LCY to increase frequency to IOM for the S20 schedule from 18 to 23 x weekly, according to page 7 of ACL’s LCY S20 Initial Coordination report.

No doubt they saw the demand created this summer with the Flybe flight to Heathrow which is extremely unlikely to operate next year. THE BACF flight operates a good reliable regular service from the island to London and should be encouraged.

With Connect Airways focus on feeding VS at LHR & MAN I do wonder how long this route will last. Flybe have practically removed all SEN flying and Stobart only have a handful.

Providing feed at LHR can at best be a longterm goal for a time when a third runway provides additional slots at LHR. In the absence of that, VS would need to sacrifice longhaul slots to accommodate feeder flights or splash out tons of money to buy slots - should someone entertain the idea of selling their precious slots. Both options are, to put it mildly, fanciful.

To be fair, Stobart / flybe have just today announced routes from SEN to Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast City and IoM - 2 or 3 daily each route - so that handful's just got quite a lot bigger again!

These flights are not for passengers connecting at LHR. It's purely for point to point traffic. Who in their right mind is going to book GLA-SEN-Train across Essex & London-LHR-Destination when you can book with KLM or Emirates or others with one straight forward stop.

This. If ever I have long haul trips to make, I'll always fly to LCY and connect to Heathrow or go via MAN. Always.

Both STN and SEN have very good European holiday and biz destinations. Otherwise, as JSCL says, they don't work. Sadly, this also applies to most UK domestic airports and has been known for 30+ years. Don't expect anythng to change and don't expect a third at LHR to magically open the options.

DLR to Canning Town, Jubilee Line to Green Park and Piccadilly Line to LHR is the direct public transport option.
Option 2 is continue on Jubilee Line to Baker St, change for Bakerloo Line to Paddington for the Heathrow Express
