To reduce the APD there would need to be two tickets as follows: 1) IOM-DUB 2) DUB-destination 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOM Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 17 minutes ago, snowman said: Loganair have cancelled London City departure tomorrow morning It’s not very good for the start of a new route I agree . But if everyone continues with their negativity and fail to get behind it then the outcome will just be EasyJet to Gatwick at random times . I think many posters would be happy with that because it suits them sadly they don’t seem to think about others . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booked just before Loganair announced start of their services to LHR and City. Compared prices now, not a lot in in it. As somebody said it’s a bit ofRussian roulette as to whether or not your flight actually operates. Hopefully EasyJet will deliver (It’s very strange to have this low degree of confidence as to whether you will get what you pay for) but at least they are not in receipt of IOM taxpayers money as Loganair are, just to cancel flights on what seems like a whim.

Sadly it's not just the Isle of Man suffering. BA are cancelling around 100 flights every day. Easyjet are even going to take a row of seats out so they can run with less crew. Desperate times.

You said you heard the Menzies handler say there were 48 people on board. Why they'd be saying that when the crew have the manifest and the same crew operate all day is, of course, by the by. But if it is somehow true you won't need to worry yourself about Loganair for much longer. After boarding is completed the Dispatcher ( one in charge of the loading of passengers & bags) will get on and inform the Cabin Manager how many have made it through the gate etc. For example.. gate closed you are looking for 48. Crew will then perform headcount and confirm with dispatcher. Amount of people who ‘no-show’ is least one on every flight it seems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) when I had a delay at the weekend, Loganair are just said "sorry, it was unavoidable". No reason given Presumably these ongoing issues are due to staff abscess or shortages Edited May 11, 2022 by snowman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
english zloty Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 All part of the cunning plan to get folk to use (and pay for) the boat, whilst turning air travel into a luxury few can afford (like it was in the 70s). Seriously, easy to put up a digital sign but, from a small island, each flight cancelled or delayed likely has a major and adverse effect on its residents. Govt needs to get a grip of this quickly.

What can govt do if the problem is no cabin crew or pilot ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
