It's a problem of Loganair's scattergun route approach. With us not having proper scheduled routes to their key bases, we are always going to struggle with this. I hope they can improve reliability of the ATR fleet. Edited March 14, 2023 by NoTailT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DoI and DoE need to recognise that Loganair are not part of the medium to long term solution for the Island. They have basically had an 'free shot' at providing a decent service to the Island, and even when they are provided with regular dollops of lovely IOMG cash, have been found wanting, again and again. I do appreciate that there are very few players in the UK regional market, but Emerald are emerging as a credible option, and perhaps our leaders should be talking to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) It's one big clusterf*ck down there. NOTHING has left so far today. It was better when Annie and Jez were there* *( wasn't most of the time but took the pay.) Edited March 14, 2023 by x-in-man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATR stands for Awful Technical Reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOM Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Goodness knows what is going on it’s a complete shambles . If it’s Loganair serious questions need to be asked because the island needs regular and frequent services and this is not good enough . And it also shows the folly of assuming EasyJet are the solution their first flight off island today is not scheduled until 15.25. A complete and utter shambles someone needs to get a grip ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he flaps his arms really fast, that combined with the force of the hot air he emits may just achieve flight. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkydevil Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 In the meantime while ILS is out, can't we line the runway waving flaming torches at incoming aircraft with a couple of walkie talkies giving "Up a bit, down a bit" signals? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
