Numbnuts Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 A friend has said they were down the airport today and loads of vehicles had parking tickets on . Barriers up so looks like its the Ringo app not being used or just people not bothered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 The airport website is still crêpe. The desperate pleading for advertisers at only £2.50 per year have disappeared - presumably because no-one took them up on their offer. However there are adverts for workers in the bars - but if you click on the link nothing happens. So what's the price of a parking ticket there? If it is less than the maximum charge I might try for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forestboy Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Is the 1 hour free parking area nearest the terminal still a available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him well but am willing to bet he's not here for the long haul ! No he’s taken on a covid vaccination centre that feels like it can’t possibly function as an airport again because every member of staff has completely given up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airport website was absolutely fine in it's previous form which was basically arrivals/departures, route info and airport facilities. 1 hour ago, manxfisherman said: I hope some of the regular travelers on here take the time to talk to him. And then tell us about it. I spoke to the guy this week. I'll be honest. He seems like a good guy - intelligent, switched on and keen to make improvement. I just hope he hasn't underestimated the size of the problem. I've seen too many promising recruits become crushed under the weight and bureaucracy of the Isle of Man Government machine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypman Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Please give the guy a chance, I realise that he has a huge task to return the airport to its former glory days of the nineties so needs all the support he can get. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah 01 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 58 minutes ago, Cypman said: its former glory days Its former glory days had airlines based here running to set timetables when we knew that the flights to X, Y and Z would be operating as per that timetable come hell and high water. With Manx/BRAL, BA, Euromanx, flybe and even manx2, you could almost put money on the flight running unless the weather was really bad or there was a technical problem. With easyjet (especially) and Loganair, certainty of getting on one of their flights is a pipe-dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. It's not really DOI, they just handle the logistics and pricing. DFE very much leading the way in discussions and underwriting with airlines. I said in another thread, how long can the starship effectively run without a Minister to be held accountable?
