Isle of Man-2
Definitely a double-edged sword. There's surely just as much of an argument that by setting up in direct competition with them, they'd be more likely to walk away than if they were the only one?

If I need to get to London, I'd traditionally take BA to City. The problem with that has always been the early departure time for the last flight of the day. This may be part of the rationale behind a potential LCY originating flight with BA, if that does happen. I know many people that book City-IOM and then end up flying back to Gatwick in the evening as the City departure is just too early.

I was looking at old e-tickets from 2016, I had in E-Mail which I kept because of unexpected canx and had to claim overnights in London from BA, used to then!

I had an email yesterday cancelling an IOM-DUB flight due in September. It looks like Aer Lingus have now cancelled flights to IOM until at least 25/10. Nothing on sale for travel until then.

This is the best online link I can find. Printed edition of the paper specifically states Gatwick

This has the potential to deliver a great degree of certainty for the Isle of Man's air routes going forward, but I'm not sure I understand the logic in serving Gatwick specifically. I'm sure they could W it with the GCI flights. I would have imagined that other new opportunities may exist, rather than chasing existing ones?

Aurigny can't even make Guernsey routes profitable. The fact Isle of Man already have easyJet (BFS/BRS/LPL/LGW/LTN) and Loganair (EDI/LCY/LPL/MAN) means Aurigny will struggle on nearly all routes as there is a presence of competition. If they can't make their GCI operations profitable when they are the sole provider on most routes, I don't hold out much hope of the IOM network - but lets hope they can make it work
