Flybe chief executive meets MHKs at Ronaldsway
"One stop to the world".
That's how the chief executive of Flybe has descibed the introduction of flights to London Heathrow from the Isle of Man.
Christine Ourmières-Widener has met with MHKs and the director of ports at Ronaldsway.
It follows the announcement of the service last week, for flights to start from 21 April.
Mrs Ourmières-Widener says Flybe will then reevaluate the flights in October, and monitor the success in the first few months especially.
She says the airline is already optimistic, after more than 200 bookings were made on the day of the announcement last week (28 March), and adds Heathrow presents the Island with a new opportunity:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
