Heathrow route gives more options to Manx holidaymakers

Travel operator believes new service part of bigger plan for Virgin Atlantic

A Manx travel operator believes the new Flybe route between Ronaldsway and Heathrow will give more options to those looking to travel further afield.

The airline announced yesterday [Thursday] that it will begin daily flights between the Isle of Man and the London hub from 21 April.

The news comes just weeks after a consortium including Virgin Atlantic completed a deal to buy the regional operator.

Brian Kelly believes the addition of this route is part of a bigger plan to increase those travelling internationally with the company.
