With the local news of Tesco taking over the local Supermarket chain Shoprite, I wonder if interest in a reestablished air link to Luton or Stansted will come about? Going to be alot of traffic to/from Cheshunt soon. I did note alot of charters from Luton recently so assume connected to this deal.
Certainly on online gaming community would welcome an alternative route to London.

Surprised no one has mentioned the upcoming IOM-JER service with BlueIslands; although it will be for a more limited period than the summer charters. Even at twice a week isn't an ATR72 too much aircraft for the route? https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-...an-and-jersey/

The mail plane will be replaced by ferry transportation after Royal Mail said an aircraft was "no longer commercially viable".

Could the Royal Mail not pay to have the mail to be flown by/on any of the commercial services that are currently operated from/to IOM and resume the automatic next-day delivery...?!

Customers can pay for special delivery - letters and packets sent by commerical air services. Details below.

When the Isle of Man had proper heritage airlines operating, such as Cambrian Airways and Manx Airlines, mail was routinely carried on their scheduled flights. Low-cost operators have no interest in this, despite the fact that the carriage of mail pays a significant premium.

If I was Airport Chief, I would be all over EZY to ask for a chance to try a direct AMS connection https://www.channel103.com/news/jers...msterdam-route
Why should Easyjet fly AMS-IOM compared to any other route ? What is commercially compelling about this route to Easyjet ? Why would it be more profitable than other candidate routes ?
That's not to say the people on the IoM wouldn't be happy to see this route but I can't quite see enough of a rationale for a profit-seeking airline

When easyJet has just binned Jersey-Amsterdam - from an island with a larger and more affluent population than the Isle of Man, and between which there have been summer charter flights for incoming tourism for years - then it's a crackpot idea to suggest that now is the time to strike on IOM-Amsterdam. If Jersey has failed, IOM has even less chance of working.
