If they are aren’t travelling by plane maybe they are travelling to get the ferry from Poole? There are three chartered flights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoopy2110 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Looks like they've hired someone to do some fancy looking graphics on social media daily now showing flight statistics for the previous 24 hours. Not sure what the point of it is but hey ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we can't complain about them not communicating and then complain when they do: They been doing this for several days, though you can help thinking it might be more useful to let people know at the time. And on the downside someone's worked out how to disable comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly just a desperate attempt to be seen to be doing/saying something. A weekly summary might give more value in showing trends and patterns. It would be more useful if the performance of individuals airlines was included. Edited July 6, 2023 by Nellie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Bean Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Its seems odd that they are only reporting on Departures, when Arrivals effect us just as much..especially if you have to misfortune to be on one doing circles for 40 minutes while the ATC lads have their breaks. Having up to-date departures and arrivals information on the airport website would also be worth concentrating their efforts on. Most of the time it’s shockingly out of date. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't make Ronaldsway a destination in its own right, nothing will. Aren't all simulators virtual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
