Irish regional airline Aer Arann have announced a new four times daily commuter service from the Isle of Man to Liverpool, which will start on 3rd October 2005. The first departure from the Isle of Man at 7.00am will arrive in Liverpool at 7.30am, with the last flight leaving the Isle of Man at 6.00pm.
Fares on the route will start from £29.99 one-way including tax, with the service aiming to cater for business and leisure passengers alike. The route will be operated by a 50 seater ATR42 aircraft.
Commenting on the announcement, Padraig O Ceidigh, Managing Director of Aer Arann said:
“We are delighted to be announcing this service from the Isle of Man to Liverpool. Liverpool is emerging as a premier UK destination with a rich and diverse heritage and we recognise that there is considerable demand for access between the Isle of Man and Liverpool following the withdrawal of Emerald Airways from the route. We are confident we can capture this market and are very well positioned to provide this service to Liverpool with the high quality and efficient service to which our passengers are accustomed.”
Phil Pain, Airport Director for the Isle of Man Airport, commented that this initiative would help to strengthen the island’s biggest route.
“Isle of Man to Liverpool is a fundamentally important air service for the Island, both in terms of providing a frequent and cost-effective link with mainland UK for residents, and drawing visitors to the island from across North West England,” he said.
