Don't get your hopes up regarding the restarting of the IOM -EDI route, I believe the EDI booking option on the Euromanx site is there in error whist they update the site. Shame as I'm a weekly commuter on this route and going in via Glasgow is a pain! Anyone else out there want to start a reliable IOM- EDI service?

Rockjock, I thought Loganair operated the route, or are the timings no good?

Hansol, Loganair dropped the route ages ago. Dunno why. Pain in the butt really, I much prefer to go to EDI than GLA!

Yes, after successfully pushing Euromanx off the route, so Loganair could have it to themselves, they go and drop it too! :rolleyes:

Euromanx - "bear with us a little longer"
 

There's an interesting interview with MD of Euromanx on

The relevant comment being:

'We have had problems with crew, we had a number of people sitting on the ground waiting to fly and they left. I knew there would be an attrition rate, but I didn't know it would be this difficult.'

Hi

Allegedley 3W were binned by Thompsons.I believe that 3W's poor performance was a contributing factor.Don't quote me but that is the rumour!!

Wot,another 2 years.!!!!

Only loosely related to this thread but I've noticed that people from most British provinces i.e. Guernsey, Gibraltar and Isle of Man all refer to their homeland as the 'Rock'!

Funny, heh?!

A note in our in-house rumour sheet today tells us that EMX are stopping the IOM-STN route from September.

For EUJ read EMX....

RIP

That crass comment will be based upon your intimate knowlwdge of EMX's financial affairs then?

skiddy
Stanstead - amazed it has lasted this long.

IOM - STN,possibility that IOM Gov.financial support for that route now expired.
Sometimes less than 10pax on RJ to STN,not a money spinner!!

granddaddy - EMX unlike the boat doesn't recieve a penny from the IOM Gov, infact i'd go as far as to say it doesn't even receive moral support.

Hopefully they will scrap crap routes like STN and concentrate on making profitable routes successful. There may be hope yet :O

skiddy

I heard that STN is to be given up on 2nd October

stanstead
 

Last IOM -Stanstead flight you can book at Euromanx.com is 2nd October. Try booking beyond that and it returns the message that no flights operate.

It's all gone quiet over there!
 

I take it that the (relative) silence on this thread means that Euromanx are starting to get it right?
:hmm:

Well, they still have some horrendous delays, but, they do seem to be getting a lot more together now.

Must be cos my son works for them now :D
