Exodus at Euromanx
 

Good informed sources report that a number of pilots and staff members left the company and the Island due to unpaid bills and lack of organisation. Also the Chief Pilot RJ and the Chief Pilot Dornier left the rock. It was also reported that the authority had some issues about flight time limitation problems with some of the pilots and were close to shut down the airline last month for safety reasons, also due to other operational problems, mainly documentation and approval matters. After 2 month of operation, they still have only 2 RJ's and 1 Dornier operational, due to lack of pilots.

Pilots, BE REALLY CAREFUL!!

the above is the tip of the iceberg.

In May a trip to the Rock was £119. Now it is in excess of £160 suggesting a short term cash flow problem.

Why else would they hike the fare?

Sidestick you seem to be well informed which authority is this?

EM to the best of my knowledge now has 2 xRJ70's, 2 x Dornier 328's its first Dash 300 carried fare paying pax for the first time last night.

Last month the airline carried 40,000 pax. Individual pilots and staff will always come and go, don't be so ready to accept the reasons given for their departure.

Euromanx types
 

I'm paxing with Euromanx next week, London City to IOM in the morning, then on to Manchester in the evening. But nowhere seems to indicate the types used. Anyone know; I am aware from other PPRuNe posts things are fluid.

Significant fares by the way.

After trying to fly BNWA IoM-BLK today, I found out EuroManx are ticket handling for BNWA!!??!! Is this another way of gaining some added income (short-term)?

A full apron of red and white aircraft this afternoon, charming! (Too bad my camera was packed away :D)

RR

Ron. Do you mean Flight Support were handling for BNWA ?

R R / Hansol,

Think you will find Flight Support and previously Euromanx before they became seperate have always handled BNWA.

Flight support is a handling Agent, they also handle fly be, so I really dont get what the point of your post wass RR. After all isn't that how Handling agents make their money!

Euromanx:EDINBURGH-ISLE OF MAN!!!!
 

On Euromanx's website you can now book these flights:

ILSE OF MAN-EDINBURGH


Also

DUSSELDORF
EINDHOVEN
VIENNA
Flights are in the booking engine

Wouldnt let me book any flights.......

While it shows IOM-EDI on the booking page, it won't let you book a flight and, if you go to Destinations, EDI doesn't appear there.

So you may be a bit premature in thinking that they are ready to operate that route. I'd say it may come later on this year or early next if they are going to do it.

What's the present state of play at Euromanx? Their flights through BRS are all delayed again this weekend: apparently their subcharter agreement fell through and as at 0900 there was no sign of an a/c to op the 0600 Olbia dlight. Any ideas anyone?

Can't see the tour operator being happy with this state of affairs...

The inbound Olbia is due at 0300 Sunday...

The inbound Split is due at 0400 Sunday by road from Stansted...

Wonder what the pax and tour operator made of the Croatian F100 used on these flights recently... better than delays like this at least, but these are not cheap holidays... time to find someone more reliable perhaps?

what about the wet leased Emerald ATP and the other one to follow soon?

I too can’t imagine the tour operators are amused.

The 7am Olbia left at 4pm operated by an ATR-42! It had to make a tech stop in Lyon and would have a flying time of about 4hours 30minutes plus the time on the ground in Lyon.

Channel Express operated the Split, they ‘diverted’ their STN-SPU flight to BRS to pick up the passengers, and it left at about 3 hours late.

I remember a few weeks back on Nights we were waiting for the I/B EMX so it could take passengers to OLB the next morning. There was an estimated time of about 2220 in Managair well that came and went with no sign 2230 came and went as did 2300 2330 2359. Still no sign!!!! Servisair tried to rouse EMX operations, ''Sorry no one is available to take your call, Plesae try later''!!!! as far as everyone was aware the aircraft had taken off bu not landed. Not quite what you expect when you read their website.

Not sure what happened in the end I left at 6 and still no 3 legged red and gold tail!

The best move I've made so far this year is to stay put with present employer (as unpleasant as that might be) and not move to EMX. My contacts on the Rock tell of a complete collapse of the training system with crews at various stages of training which can't be finished off. A lot of the grief is stemming from a power struggle between the managers on the Rock and the company ULL14 who hold the AOC. It appears that this austrian relationship is turning into a complete disaster. So I guess that accounts for the shiny aircraft on the ground but no crew trained up 'cos of rulings from Austria. An AOC from any JAA state would solve the problem so I'm told.:confused:

IOM - LPL
 

Heard that Eastern Airways are looking to start IOM - LPL anyone heard that rumour from the Island?

Its not long since Euromanx binned the EDI-IOM route , may well still be on their list of destinations for that reason.

eastern airways to start lpl-iom not heard that rumour thought it was ba city express more news soon we hope
