John Wright Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Things could be worse. Alderney had no air service between Saturday morning and mid day Monday. One plane was off service having routine maintenance and the back up went tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Figures from here. I've not included airports with a blank return as these don't supply cancelled/punctuality figures. March may be a bad month generally as the total cancellation percentage across all the above airports was only 1.66% for all of 2022 (from 0.99% in 2019). The equivalent figures for the Isle of Man were 3.55% in 2022 from 1.29% in 2019. Incidentally the number of aircraft movement in 2022 was only 76.65% of that for 2019. But of course we know there were particular factors in March that should have made that a one-off. The March figures have been published for over a month (as ever Manx Radio is right on top of the news cycle) so I would expect the April ones any day now (CAA seem very slow at the moment). So when they come out we might have a better idea if other factors are having a effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look everyday problems don't concern management, all that matters is the development plan , as I said eons ago the sort we have appointed don't want merely to be seen as running an airport ! Development is where the CV is at ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessTickle Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I was on the delayed IOM - MAN EasyJet flight on Friday evening. We were told that the flight would be taking off 80 minutes late only once we had been transferred to the passenger holding pen down stairs. This obviously caused carnage as people weren't prepared to be stuck down there for over an hour with no access to any refreshment and with only one toilet so the vast majority just went back upstairs. This resulted in everyone needing to be scanned to board for a second time. What I assume was a Menzies rep absolved themselves and EJ of any responsibility and firmly passed the buck to ATC. This continued on boarding and again mid flight and landing with the Captain providing the same information that it all the fault of ATC. One little snippet he told the full flight was that the issue with the IOM ATC was that they only had one controller that was working and that there had been two but this other controller had been suspended from work. No idea if this is true or not but that is what EJ are telling people. Interestingly when we arrived in the departures lounge the flight was showing it was delayed by 30 minutes. This was subsequently removed and changed to it being on time. We tracked the plane coming in and it was definitely already late - it didn't land on the IOM until the time it was due to take off. It then missed the ATC open slot to take off so was delayed further. Its a bloody shambles down there - but Menzies / EJ are not giving factual information. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
