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:
Manx Care reports major drop in dental waiting lists
Police 'disappointed' to find more than half of vehicles with defects in latest winter checks
Poppy Appeal underway ahead of Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day
Plans to open designated space for medicinal cannabis consumption
