ballaughbiker Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Oh ****. That would be bad for the Island. Unlike those jokers who had the HS748s a year or two ago, EM are a proper airline and have given us excellent service after a shaky start. (All the post so far just my opinion m'lud) . It would just be back to the usual IOM monopoly situation then. Fingers crossed (and a booking made this am) for EM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localyokel Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 http://www.energyfm.net/news/bulletinstory8.htm only been picked up by Energy apparently All he's said though John is that Euromanx is still very much in operation. That is self evident. Its not the sort of detailed response that you might expect them to issue to quell such terrible rumours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanxfella Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Don't believe everything you read on Prune oldmanxfella. I don't. I was just pointing out to the mods that there is nothing in this thread that they need be worried about considering what some other forums have carried.

John Wright Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 To the extent that there is any implication of something sinister or financially irregular the owners and mods disassociate themselves from it The news that planes were to go has been public knowledge since October 2007 see IOM Today 31 10 2007 Euromanx puts two aircraft up for sale EUROMANX has put two of its aircraft up for sale. AMS Aircraft Limited is offering the planes, which will be available from April, for sale as exclusive agent. Between them the two planes provide 86 passenger seats but Euromanx chief executive officer John Seymour insisted passengers would not be affected by the sale. 'Airlines assess their fleet on an ongoing basis. It's normal business practice for an airline,' he said. The aircraft for sale are a 50 passenger seat Dash 8-311, registration OEHBC, built in 1999, and a 36 passenger seat Dash 8-201, registration OEHBB, built in 2000. The larger plane has spent 13,500 hours in the air and has taken off and landed 17,600 times, while the other has spent 12,500 hours in the air and has taken off and landed 16,800 times. Mr Seymour refused to explain the criteria used in making the decision to sell the aircraft. 'Euromanx are considering their options and have been doing this for the best part of three years now and will continue doing so,' he said.

Alternatively they could be selling them because they are costly to maintain!! Doesn't always mean bad news when a company sells an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilf_uk Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I don't know if this will get pulled or not but I was told today that Euromanx (i.e. it's routes) have been sold to Flybe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Between them the two planes provide 86 passenger seats but Euromanx chief executive officer John Seymour insisted passengers would not be affected by the sale. of course they won't be affected, they can't fill the bloody seats in the first place with passengers so why would the seats going make any difference??

GD4ELI Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 My recent trip on Euromanx via the horror of Manchester 'airport' was on an almost deserted plane - 12 passengers (max). Good company but I could understand them selling out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbms Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I think what is food for thought is that with quite a few rumours here and around the island about them going under that no one has made any real statement to deny this only vague answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Skies Are Grey Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Well on the basis that the feckers havent had the common courtesy to reply to my complaint regarding the Good Friday Liverpool flight fiasco...they can rot in hell for all I care!

triskelion Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I think what is food for thought is that with quite a few rumours here and around the island about them going under that no one has made any real statement to deny this only vague answers A lot of company's have a policy of not commenting on rumours. Unsurprisingly, the media haven't picked up these unsubstantied claims, which makes them as doubious as those who were saying the Polish shop was a cover for a brothel.
