09/07/2010MANX2.COM SET TO LAUNCH GALWAY TO
ISLE OF MAN CONNECTION
Manx2.com will launch its easy connections between Galway and the Isle of Man today (Friday).
The Company, which hopes to encourage links between Ireland and the Isle of Man, will launch the special service in a bid to stimulate tourism and ecommerce in both countries, and improve connectivity between Galway in the heart of the West and the Isle of Man.
Manx2.com will operate flights from Galway to the Isle of Man via Belfast International Airport every Friday and Sunday. Fares start from €64.95 each way including taxes and charges.
Chairman Noel Hayes said: "We are delighted the launch day is finally upon us. We cannot wait to bring our award-winning service to communities throughout both countries. We have great confidence in the long term future for the Irish economy and are pleased to be able to improve connectivity between Galway and the Isle of Man, and in turn stimulate commerce and tourism in both these regions. Whether passengers are travelling for business or leisure purposes or to reconnect with friends and families, this is the perfect getaway."
Manx2.com employs 60 staff and has a fleet of seven aircraft providing up to 30 flights a day to the Isle of Man. Its customer services, reservations and operations departments are all based in the new hangar facility at Ronaldsway Airport.
Manx2.com is proud to be a small Isle of Man based company carrying 100,000 passengers a year between the Isle of Man and Blackpool, Belfast, Leeds Bradford, Newcastle, Gloucester and Jersey. It has recently been voted the Island's best small company for the second time in three years at the annual IOM Newspapers Excellence Awards.
