lfc84 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I dont see that this is HUGE threat to EMX service. This one is Mon - Fri and the flight will arrive at IOM at 1015 and depart back to London City at 1700. This may take some business from EMX that originates in London, however it may not damage the departing numbers from the island. The schedule will however suit those that plan to make onward conenctions with VLM. Euromanx is a 7 day per week service in comparison. Some passengers will prefer to leave IOM on the 0800 EMX service to avoid overnight stay in London so they will stay loyal to the Euromanx service. I doubt EMX will feel too threatened in respect of passengers originating form the island....and even for passengers originating from London they offer a superior frequency on this route. Also worth noting is that the plane will (as far as we know right now) be sat on the tarmac in IOM from 1015 through to 1700. I wonder if VLM have a plan for it to operate another route rather have it sat on the tarmac for almost 7 hours doing nothing.......???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I believe that Denim Air, who recently operated for Euromanx are part of the VLM Company. Also, keep an eye out for another new airline about to start operating to the Isle of Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCMR Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 The Isle of Man has got a good name for the servicing of aircraft, and this may draw in a few new airlines, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul H Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Now there's a thought... Dutch Fokkers coming to the Isle of Man to get serviced instead of Manx F"""""s going to Amsterdam Can't see it taking off! (pardon the pun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
