Manx2.com is to add extra flights between the Isle of Man and Gloucester (M5) and Belfast.

Gloucester will have an additional flight added on Thursdays, and Isle of Man, Belfast flights will increase to 70 per week to cope with the increased demand.

“Belfast has so much to offer from shopping and nightlife to sightseeing and exploring the surrounding countryside, and we have grown the route substantially in the last year. Our summer timetable in 2008 has 20% more flights on it than the 2007 version, which is a real sign of how successful that route has been” said Manx2.com’s communications director James Filleul.

Manx2.com now offers flights between the Isle of Man and Blackpool airport, Belfast International airport, Belfast City airport, Leeds airport, Gloucester (M5), Jersey and, from 3 March, Nottingham East Midlands airport.
