EuroManx appoint receivers; stop flying
09.05.08
Isle of Man airline EuroManx have ceased operations today and appointed receivers. The airline operated flights between the Isle of Man and Belfast, London City, Manchester and Liverpool Airport.
The airline said in a statement on its website: 'All passengers with tickets for EuroManx flights can be assured that alternative arrangements are being sourced. Flybe will carry all ticketed passengers to Liverpool, Manchester and also initially to either Luton or Gatwick where it has space available to accommodate the passenger. EuroManx passengers to Belfast will be advised in due course.' [It is understood that Manx2 have now agreed to provide the Belfast flights.]
'For the past 5 years EuroManx has provided 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 staff on the Isle of Man have lost their jobs as a result of the airline going into receivership.
