IOM Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Just now, Danoo said: The increased capacity and frequency wil come, in time. If someone can make money they will find a way. Let’s hope so it’s dreadful as it currently is . I do think the DOI have a key role to play here and I don’t understand those who seem to think they should not be held to account to find a solution . And for the avoidance of doubt I am not advocating a big government subsidy to make it work either . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoTailT Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Apparently they're looking to do IOM-LHR to fill remedy slots they still hold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bserver Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I'd heard Flybe2 had lost patience with DOI and walked away from negotiations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That had happened from catching up with someone earlier over coffee. But Mk2 apparently persistent on serving LHR and have gone above Jezs head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipper99 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 My, very reliable, informant ( family member working in airport admin ) reports there were talks yesterday between LoganAir and another undisclosed operator ( assumed to be flybe2 ) and DoI about London routes, including LCY and LHR. High on agenda was underwriting guarantee. Obviously if there’s a tax payer subsidy that changes the market and may make an otherwise viable route marginal or uneconomic. IoMG can hardly underwrite one, and not the other. Not sure if Dr Jez was in the room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IoMG can hardly underwrite one, and not the other. They can't, if one of the airlines does it commercially they can't underwrite the other one. And if one airline was prepared to fly commercially, I think this administration would be happy to let them crack on. They called Loganair's bluff on it. I'll eat my hat if Flybe2 ever get going, mind. Edited February 10, 2022 by Ringy Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
