Andy Onchan Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Just now, mojomonkey said: Sad that they have finally gone but its been coming for years. As far as I am aware the problems stem from an ill conceived expansion plan that saw them purchasing too many planes, they were then left flying too many unviable routes. Jim French was the original instigator of that "ill conceived expansion". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holte End Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Where are DfE, Mr Skelly and his members and agencies with this business. Where is Tim Baker head of the Airport. The only people who didn't see this coming is these clowns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 This has been expected. Let's see what the "off the shelf" announcements are from IOMG and perhaps Ryanair / Easyjet/ BA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 There will be a new airline in a couple of weeks, same aircraft, mostly same crew, roughly same ownership, less routes, liabilities dropped etc. Usual bollocks, people like dilligaf get screwed, probably some contractors/suppliers too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll just be supply and demand, as people with short-term FlyBe bookings make alternative plans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there's a strong likelihood that this will be a 'pre-pack administration' with the profitable bits sold on to a new company, very quickly. We'll see...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b4mbi Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Let's see if lessons have been learnt after the Euromanx collapse. i.e. Are there flybe planes arrested at the airport to secure all landing fees due, or have they all flown off, like the Euromanx planes did, leaving IOM taxpayer losing out...
