Aer Arann cease London City service

The decision is down to a new focus on providing connectivity and frequency on flights between the UK and Ireland and onwards to the USA, they say the Isle of Man - London City route is not a strategic fit on this.

The airline will operate a normal service up until the cut off date, passengers with confirmed bookings after the date will be contacted and offered a full refund.

Aer Arann has 14 flight deck and cabin crew based in the Island, they'll be offered the opportunity to move to other bases.

They will continue to operate their Isle of Man to Dublin service, under the Aer Lingus Regional brand, starting from 25th March.
