One of the most important air services for the Island is to be restored in the New Year.
From January 19, Irish airline Aer Arann will fly three times daily to London City.
There’s been only one flight a day to City Airport (operated by VLM) since the collapse of EuroManx in May.
Airport Director Ann Reynolds says the move is a massive boost to the Island’s finance sector with the airport less than four miles from London’s commercial and financial heartland at Canary Wharf.
The first flight from the Island will depart at 8:25 each morning with the final return evening flight departing at 7.45pm.
Aer Arann will also operate a service on Saturday mornings, plus two flights on Sunday evenings, catering for more leisure driven traffic.
She says the route has performed consistently well since it commenced in 2000, carrying an average of 5,500 passengers per month last year.
