The Voice of Reason Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 23 minutes ago, wrighty said: Shut up, don't tell everyone. I always use Athol and get my car cleaned/valeted - it's the only time it happens. Park right next to the terminal, never had to wait more than a few minutes on return. Great value compared with parking on the official site and coming back to find your car's been towed away because you returned an hour late. Mylchreests for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easyjet have been cancelling a heap of flights all over this week easyJet have cancelled more flights to/from IOM in the last seven days than they have in the previous ten weeks! Various factors at play, including ATC across Europe, tech aircraft and a runway closure at Gatwick, but at this time of year, their resilience is never enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetfour Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Do EasyJet have enough aircrew available in the Uk? (Esp. Belfast, Edinburgh, Gatwick) Allegedly not. Cross your fingers and hope, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderella Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I suspect EJ schedule a heap of summer flights and wait to see sales. More flights than they can service, then cancel to fit. IoM always likely to lose as less profitable/full 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So cancellation was always on the cards even before the Gatwick runway blockage. Add to that the fact Swanwick/Gatwick ATC were short staffed this morning and there are French & Italian ATC strikes… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An hour delay wouldn't have been a problem. If you look at Gatwick arrivals and departures there's loads of easyjet Gatwick arrivals and departures cancelled not just here. The MAN flight doesnt have a reason for cancellation so presuming tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nellie Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) 31 minutes ago, WTF said: all the delays and cancellations mean planes aren't in position for future flights so i'd say positioning rather than tech was the reason for IOM cancellation I'd disagree. When a delayis attributable to weather, ATC, or some other external factor, easyJet always say so, and make it clear it's an 'exceptional circumstance' that means they won't pay UK261 compensation. There is no attempt to explain why MAN-IOM-MAN was cancelled which suggests it was something they they were responsible for. ETA - the assigned aircraft got back to MAN at 15.32 and did not fly again for the rest of today. A round trip to Berlin this evening was also cancellled, so most likely a tech or crewing issue.

Harry Lamb Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Lots of EZY passenger to MAN last night had early flights to catch, so ended up on Manxman (£71) to Heysham and taxi (£150). Of course Costa at the sea terminal was closed while they queued. Quite a lot for EZY to pay out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
