Somewhat poorly written article. One suggested edit is that Citywing started after Manx2 ceased operations almost immediately following an accident that resulted in deaths. Manx2 also went to Blackpool and Gloucester.
It ignore easyJet who currently operate and have continued to do so for something like 12 years.
A pretty shoddy article actually

And the article says Manx 2 had services to several UK destinations so I would think that includes Blackpool and Gloucester!

One could argue that yours is a pretty shoddy response! You say it ignores Easyjet but it also makes no reference to Loganair, Flybe or Aer Arann the article is clearly referring to Isle of Man airlines.

Have to take No2 son to go to look at UK Unis in a couple of weeks time. Need to fly to London. Outbound easyJet to LGW works, civilised (0955) departure, around £60 each for 3. £180 in total. Thought we'd return from LCY which we used a lot pre covid. Er, Loganair want £174. On a Thursday. Each. £521 in total. Guess what I'm not going to do?
IOMX - I don't think this will be continuing post September....sorry!

Its great that you are so positive! Actually I could argue differently clearly people are booking it. I booked in advance and paid £74 you can get seats in July for £74. We all now airline algorithms cause the prices to rise as the plane fills up. And if you don't believe me try booking an Easyjet flight from Gatwick on Sunday 24th April and you will pay £259 one way before bags!
In that case it will continue and its users will be happy
let's see what happens. They said use it or lose it.
The passenger figures will be interesting
Loganair on the 24 April is £144.
Quite a difference

Yes so Loganair on this occasion are exactly half the price of Easyjet on a like for like basis ( i.e bags included). And for the record I don't doubt that Easyjet will mostly be cheaper offering a random timed service I would expect that. So if its a ticket price you are worried about then that is your option. Some of us prefer to have greater flexibility in the timetable and a proper London airport at least now there is the choice and if you book ahead there is not much difference in price either!
I stand by my point if people remain positive then there are now flight options for getting to/from the island for everyone. If people book them then that's more money on island and that is only a good thing.

Well to close this out booked the three of us on easyJet. Same day, similar timed evening service.
Loganair wanted £174 each. Paid easyJet in total £99; £33 each. Go figure!
Mind you I imagine a large chunk of the Loganair fare was LCY's charges. Just looked back at my 2019 tickets which show airport charges of £71 for a round trip. Of which LCY took the lion's share.

Also, Loganair offer an inclusive hold luggage allowance of between 15-30kg, depending on which fare you go for, and complimentary refreshments - you'd have to pay to check a bag in and also for anything you buy onboard with easyJet.

It's worth noting that easyJet operate an A319/20, which means that they have got far more seats available to offer at lower fares, compared to the ATR that Loganair use.

Surely fare on transport at the other end is a factor, from memory LGW express is £40 return per person into London
