Not necessarily is all I can say on that

[RVF750]

This total mess is the direct result of Open Skies. Without this, we'd have a base and a set of aircraft here that could operate as many or as few flights as needed to match the frequency needed.

Instead. well, you get what was predicted years ago. Take a bow Tony Brown.

London City - Due to end 30th October, rumours of moving to London Heathrow 12x Weekly however not confirmed

Something needs to be done urgently regarding the London market as it stands there are no flight options beyond the end of October. It is ridiculous that the island will not have any flights to/from London especially given during August nearly as many people flew the route with a once a day flight as Liverpool with a twice a day flight and patient transfers. Easyjet are not going to be seen for a long time yet so lets hope something is done to encourage Loganair to continue operating into London City or even better London Heathrow.

Definitely in the running for most banal PPRuNe posting of the year award.

I feel that airlines are going to start getting bored of the IOM border rules and just remove flights until further notice. EasyJet are already doing it on their network on some routes I feel it’s only a matter of time

[milleriom]

Threats - speculation.

As far as the great majority of Isle of Man residents are concerned we do not care at all about 'airlines starting to get bored' as you state in what sounds like some sort of attempt at pressure or other threat. What we do care about is successfully protecting our people in regard to this Covid19 virus. And so far we have had huge success in that. So what is your actual agenda flyerguy? Help the airlines at whatever human health cost?

Have you pesonally asked the opinion of all the IoM residents or are you just assuming that you speak on behalf of all the residents ?

Neither a threat nor speculation. The virus is going to be part of our everyday life for the foreseeable future. Economy’s in locked down areas such as the Island are going to start becoming weaker without connections to the outside world.

To say that that post was a threat when airlines are doing the same around the world is just ludicrous.

Airlines selling routes that keep getting put back are simply going to remove them all together so customers are not purchasing tickets and then having to refund back and forth

If residents are away and returning and then isolating for 14 days why isn’t this being rolled out to immediate friends and family. Just because people are resistants of the UK doesn’t mean their ‘superspreaders’. IATA figures show that the rate of transmission is extremely low. Add in the 14 days and they’d be minimal risk of transition into the general public.

An unhelpful reply which adds nothing to the topic. Have you asked them yourself to give you grounds to challenge my statement?

You clearly have not even thought of asking the Isle of Man Government who actually do know the consensus views on this topic of the 85,000 or so residents. Had you done so you would be told the same thing I stated in my post that caused you such needless concern that you simply and rapidly lashed out questioning my remark. How clever was that I wonder. Or rather I do not need to wonder. Busy day ahead so I shall bid you goodnight and less needless purposeless anger now.
