Former Manx Airlines boss reacts to Flybe collapse
The former boss of Manx Airlines believes there are limited options for replacing Flybe on the Island's air routes.
The regional airline announced it had entered administration in the early hours of this morning, resulting in all of its services being cancelled with immediate effect.
In a statement, the Isle of Man Government says it's already in talks with other airlines to take over the Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham routes.
However, Terry Liddiard, who now represents Travelwatch, warns the Island will face stiff competition:
Gas supplier provides reassurance amid ongoing global market volatility
Farmers in race against time after freight backlog in Heysham
Further changes to sailing schedule due to tidal restrictions
Census 'still one of the most valuable statistical tools' for government
'Immigration is needed' for economic growth on Island
