Manx2's suspension of flights to two destinations from next January is a commercial decision in a very tough market according to the airport director, who says air passenger duty tax is partly to blame.
Manx2 announced yesterday it will stop flying to Oxford and Leeds-Bradford from January 7th, as passenger numbers fall outside the main holiday season.
The company also cited the £13 additional APD charge on domestic flights from the UK, as a disincentive to visiting the Island.
Ms Reynolds says the tax appears to be hitting the leisure travel market hard:
VAT reduction on electricity extended
Some EU deliveries suspended 'until further notice'
Manx actress to return to West End in April
No word from Barclays over Island job losses in global cost cutting move
