Why should this airline be added?
Founded in November 2012 and taking over the assets of Manx2, this airline was yet another virtual operator, conducting flights from Ronaldsway as it’s main base, with Blackpool, Belfast City and Cardiff to destinations across the UK. It continued these operations till it went bust in March 2017, ending a lot of the public service obligation routes conducted across the UK and leading to Blackpool Airport shutting its commercial airline operations for good due to the loss of regular flights as Citywing was the last operator after Jet2 pulled out of the airport.Like Manx2 before it, it has the range to reach LHR from the majority of its bases and could make for a great second Let contract operator for the airport after Manx2. It would also be a great airline to see at a potential future MAN
