Paying more

i would have gladly paid more; I can’t understand why FlyBe management didn’t price the routes properly. They had virtual monopolies on some routes, eg IOM, SOU. Poor market awareness.

Wall Street Journal just reported that Boeing says that return of the Max will be at least the middle of the year for regulator approval. Boeing shares fell by 5%.

A319 take off distances

A319 at MTOW needs 1,949 metres.

Should need less from Ronaldsway with lower fuel and perhaps not a full load.

VLM to IoM

Apparently they are doing some of the MAN - IOM flights.
So there will be Dash 8, ATR and the F50 all on this route for a short while.
Stobart apparently running everything May onwards.
