Thomas Disappointed Over Flybe Routes Axe
The airline announced it would not be operating its new routes citing issues around delivery of planes.
DoI Minister Chris Thomas has said he is ‘hugely disappointed’ that Flybe have binned their new routes from Ronaldsway.
The airline announced it would not be operating its new routes citing issues around delivery of planes.
Mr Thomas said: ‘We would encourage any customers affected by the cancellation to know their rights, and visit the Flybe website (www.flybe.com) for more information including requesting a refund.
‘We appreciate the operational difficulties are due to a delay in the delivery of new aircraft, but share the frustration of customers impacted by this – particularly over the busy Christmas period.
‘Fortunately the routes are also serviced by other airlines with Loganair providing flights to Heathrow and EasyJet to Belfast International. Isle of Man Airport is committed to improving the Islands connectivity, and are actively engaged in discussions with airlines on possible new routes.’
