2112 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I wonder how long it will be before the new Airport Director realised what a crock of shit and challenge he has with the Airport. Perhaps he may be thinking what have I got myself into? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we will also get an update on the Heathrow and London City flights as Loganair have already announced their summer 2023 program and neither of these destinations are currently available beyond March next year. According to my direct question to them the "London flights are under review at the moment". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that translate to : "we are waiting to see how much more we can squeeze out of those suckers in the Isle of Man Government"? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media interaction scheduled for mid-September, including about airport and air services matters. @Chris Thomas is it true that Ronaldsway is going to be closed on Sunday 27th November, with no scheduled flights in or out, so some sort of training/simulation exercise can take place? Just asking as it is impossible to book flights on that date, and this the explanation which Loganair are giving . If it is true, and suspect it is, do other airports do this? I don’t recall hearing of Heathrow or Gatwick closing, and losing revenue, so they can pretend there’s been some sort of accident. Has Ronaldsway ever been closed in such circumstances before? From customer service, economic and reputational points of view, is this a sensible thing to be doing as the Airport struggles to regain lost traffic, passengers and credibility? I know it may be argued that ‘safety’ trumps everything, but where is the balance and common sense here?! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit like the Doomers when they wanted a covid press conference for the sake of one. Quite right. What of value can he say when he hasn't even had a look at what he has let himself in for yet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have the app. Parked car and paid about £6.50 I think to the lady at the desk. She said it was for 12 hours and there’s no need to put a receipt on the dashboard.
