Eastern Airways announces new Isle of Man route

Monday, 27 March 20173 min read

Eastern Airways is launching a new route from Glasgow to the Isle of Man.

The announcement comes less than two weeks after it secured the future of the island’s routes to Northern Ireland and North East England.

Earlier this month, the UK regional airline stepped in to provide a continuation of links to the Isle of Man from Belfast City and Newcastle following Citywing’s liquidation.

It will now offer a daily weekday link from Scotland with a new Glasgow service starting on May 2 and using a 29-seat Jetstream 41 aircraft.

Monday to Thursday, flights will leave Glasgow at 2.50pm arriving in the Isle of Man at 3.40pm. Services from the Isle of Man will depart at 1.30pm, landing in Glasgow at 2.20pm.

Friday services depart Glasgow at 9.35am, arriving in the Isle of Man at 10.45am. Flights leave the Isle of Man at 8.15am, landing in Glasgow at 9.05am.

Fares start from £59 one way, including taxes and charges.

Mathew Herzberg, head of commercial for Eastern Airways, said: "Our aim has been to protect vital routes from the Isle of Man and we are now pleased to be back in Glasgow linking the island again, and we will also explore further opportunities."
