Euro manx airline goes out of business

One of the main airlines connecting Liverpool with the Isle of Man has ceased trading.

EuroManx blamed rising fuel prices as one of several factors behind the business.

The Isle of Man-based airline operated five flights a day between the island and Liverpool John Lennon airport.

It started flights in 2002, taking over from Manx Airlines. Last year it carried 140,000 passengers.

Passengers learned of the companyโ€™s failure yesterday morning.

Rival Flybe, which started flying the route on March 30, stepped in and offered free replacement tickets for Euromanx passengers.

Liverpool JLA spokesman Robin Tudor said: โ€œThankfully, they were accommodated by Flybe who have four flights a day from Liverpool. .โ€

Euromanx employed 70 staff and flew to Liverpool, Manchester, Belfast and London.
