Midweek rotations 'worrying' says group
Island pressure group TravelWatch says the reduced air service between the Island and London Gatwick over the summer is unwelcome news for the Manx community, business, and tourism.
easyJet's schedule includes just one evening flight on three midweek days in July and August, as aircraft are pulled onto more lucrative holiday routes.
That will rule out round trips to the capital in a day, and make onward connections difficult without an overnight stay.
The lower capacity could also hit the visitor market.
The airline's summer schedule is unchanged from last year, although a Saturday flight from the Island to Gatwick has been restored
TravelWatch aviation spokesman Mike Bathgate says the situaiton's far from ideal:
Cost of off-Island healthcare treatment almost £2m higher than forecast over five-month period
Options for Tramway Terrace expected in the next eight weeks
Organisation welcomes news of Milan extension
AI workshop findings to shape forthcoming national strategy
Island residents urged to report possible Asian hornet sightings
