newaccount Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Loganair to Liverpool has turned round and come back to IOM. So the LPL-IOM will probably be cancelled. Also LCY cancelled. Probably weather related    Edited June 12, 2023 by newaccount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just 'anyone'. Just the utterly incompetent, pathetic, idiotic people involved in running such key matters as the airport including the responsible politicians who do not, or will not, grasp the very damaging impact of the long running serial disruption on the island and it's reputation. And then there is the basic fact of the now almost constant severe disruption to airport users. And incalculably large economic damage to the island. It's beyond deeply sad. And all avoidable with half a brain and the slightest will to act. Edited June 12, 2023 by Cassie2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been thrashing the engines harder and doing 450 knts like the LGW-BFS.   Will need to do a quick turn around Edited June 12, 2023 by newaccount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller, lighter a/c, but also at a higher altitude so will generally be quicker. Plus it seemed that it didn't make a normal approach (had to extend it) so maybe ATC had gone on a break to allow them to stay open longer to facilitate departure? So no reason to rush to get here perhaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team at Ronaldsway did a great job . That said EasyJet work on a turnaround time of 30 mins in their schedule I wonder how realistic that is at every airport ? Maybe thatâs why they are always picking up delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
