Routes scrapped after passenger figures fall

Manx2.com has scrapped a number of services following ongoing disappointing travel figures.

The company is temporarily suspending its routes to Leeds Bradford and Oxford from the start of January.

It says the decision has been made with "regret” but it’s in response to the ongoing decline in the Island’s air passenger market.

Latest figures from September showed a 7.5 per cent decrease in travellers to and from Ronaldsway, across all routes, compared to the same time period last year.

Manx2.com says it will reassess the routes when market capacity and demand for next summer are clearer. Affected passengers will be re-booked onto alternative flights.
