Euromanx stops flying
09.05.08
Isle of Man based airline EuroManx have announced today that they have ceased operations and no further flights being operated. The airline, which has appointed receivers, operated flights between the Isle of Man and Belfast, London City, Manchester and Liverpool Airport.
The airline said in a statement: 'all passengers with tickets for EuroManx services can be assured that alternative arrangements are being sourced. Flybe will carry all ticketed EuroManx passengers to Liverpool, Manchester and also initially to either Luton or Gatwick on services where Flybe have space available to accommodate the passenger. EuroManx passengers to Belfast will be advised in due course.' [It is understood that Manx2 will provide the Belfast flights.]
'For the past 5 years EuroManx has focused on providing a locally based operation offering high quality schedules and services dedicated to the Isle of Man. During this time the employees have worked hard to develop and grow the business but over the last 6 months a number of factors including rising fuel prices and reduced passenger numbers have proved to be insurmountable obstacles to the airline being able to continue to operate.'
Around 70 people on the Isle of Man have lost their jobs as a result of the airline going into receivership.
