There also selected mid-week dates in Jan and Feb 2009, where IOM-LGW is down to three round trip flights.
This all looks like prudent matching of capacity to projected demand, and is a very sensible approach, to maintain yields and profitability at slack time of year and in uncertain economic circumstances.
Incidentally, some summer 2009 seats released today on IOM-LGW, and selected other routes. Lots of availability right now at £69 return, which isn't bad, all things considered.

Might be interesting to see Manx2 try SOU especially as it has great train service into London but if Flybe do look like coming back in Summer there would really be no point starting.

Just heard - 2 of my former colleagues were hauled up into the new security managers office (who has absolutely no experience of security apart from the fact her partner is employed by AVSEC - jobs for the boys again in IOM!) for voicing their opinions, good on you both lots of people here backing you up!
Awful times won't help. First flight arriving into London City at 09:50 is even worse than the Euromanx ones! Wonder if this will see the light of day with the impending cutbacks at Aer Arann.

Kra LCY times as no decent slots are available. Manx government handout should ensure it does OK financially and it probably suits AA as theyll have a use for one of the planes they are freeing up in Ireland with the cutbacks. Saab 2000 would have been better than ATR though
