If they belong to BA they aren’t spare, if you aren’t BA they are still running the china and italy slots with zero passengers.....one call to ba would sort iom's capacity problems.....

Ryanair (god forbid)? Eastern? SkellyAir? (One of those isn't really an airline). Going on Skelly's record of edicts and successes, the next announcement will be a runway and air hub at the Summerland site... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanair (god forbid)? Eastern? SkellyAir? (One of those isn't really an airline). We use Ryanair at least 2 or 3 times every year for Spain and have only ever been delayed once. Can't fault the service. The prices, if you book early, are pennies. The only downside is that because they are so cheap and reliable, too many hen parties and the like use them and can sometimes spoil the flight. Crews are very professional though and usually take no prisoners. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t franchising or wet leasing to flybe. No website, no booking system. Probably do it as a franchise of Aer Lingus to tie into the Dublin service. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John means they don't have their own booking site, nor do they fly under their own brand. For that reason, they'd need to fly under the Aer Lingus brand, and use their website, call centre etc. to able to take bookings and collect money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Personally I'm not flying anywhere with a sub contractor or anything much smaller than Easyjet or BA. Not after the Dublin crash.
