New Isle of Man frequencies and fares |
April 2004
Eastern Airways highlights commitment to the Isle of Man with added frequencies and new promotional fare.
Following the introduction of daily services to Bristol earlier this
month, Eastern Airways has announced further increases in the
frequencies of its Isle of Man services. Weekend services will be added
to Leeds Bradford, Newcastle and Nottingham East Midlands. These
additional services will bring Eastern’s total weekly
departures from the Island to over 40. In addition, Eastern Airways has
also today unveiled a new range of promotional fares. Fares will
begin at £99 return, (7-day advance purchase, return-fares, bookable
online, including web discount and all taxes and charges) and will be
applicable to all its Isle of Man routes.
The introduction of new services and fares will greatly enhance access
to and from the Island for residents and visitors alike. New
Sunday services from Newcastle and Nottingham East Midlands will
provide an option for weekend breaks on all five of Eastern’s Isle of
Man routes. Further flexibility for travellers will be available
on the Leeds Bradford route as the service becomes daily, with the
introduction of a Saturday service.
Chief Executive of Eastern Airways, Richard Lake, commented “The growth
in our Isle of Man services and the launch of new promotional fares
represents a major step by Eastern Airways in further building
its commitment to the Island. Having recently formed ‘Manx
Regional’, our ground handling operation at Ronaldsway, we are now well
positioned to continue to grow our Isle of Man network to further
improve access for all. We are currently evaluating a number of
additional routes to the Island and look forward to further
announcements in the near future”. Philip Pain, Director of Isle of Man
Airport, stated, “The Isle of Man Airport is delighted that Eastern
Airways is introducing additional weekend services, and a range of
leisure air fares to add to their successful services for the business
sector”.
Eastern Airways operate over 650 flights each week, and will carry
approximately half a million passengers on a network embracing
Aberdeen, Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh,
Humberside, Inverness, Isle of Man, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted,
Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Nottingham East Midlands, Southampton,
Teesside and Wick.
