Talk:Manx2

message: I have not been able to find a definition of this term outside of hobby and flight simulation enthusiasts  - see Wikipedia Virtual Airline.  There seems to be some contention that this company is not an actual airline, but operates as a ticketing agent.  Yet, there are aircraft flying with their livery, and news stories by the BBC and others, refer to the company as an Airline. I understand that news agencies can get basic facts wrong, but is there some verifiable criteria we can use to settle this so we can avoid the back and forth reversions. Thanks!

replies: text: It is not licenced as an airline  all the flights are operated under the licences of other operators some of the aircraft are foreign registered (some of the airlines that operate the flights are Hungarian, Spanish and German). Just having your name painted on an aircraft does not make it an airline. I used the term virtual airline to recognise that the company tries to give the impression it is a licenced airline (although it doesnt appear to use the term "Airline" on its website.  Their website has on every page Our flights are operated by VanAir Europe AS, FLM Aviation, Flightlinebcn & Jetstream Executive If your read the legal bit Manx2 Ltd. is providing your tickets for this flight booking. We proudly claim to offer great service at competitive prices, and we are constantly looking at ways in which we can improve our service.On behalf of Manx2, Van Air Europe As will be the main operator for flights from the Isle of Man to Blackpool, Belfast City, Galway, Newcastle and Leeds; also between Belfast City & Galway, and Galway to Cork. FLM Aviation will be the main operator for flights from the Isle of Man to Gloucestershire Airport and Cardiff to Anglesey. Flightline BCN will be the main operator for flights from Belfast City to Cork. and also in the legal small print “Manx2” or “Manx2.com” means Manx2 Ltd. who is the provider of your tickets for this flight..  Also it says The following conditions apply to all carriage of passengers by our operators:  our operators means it is not the operator. It is just a ticket broker hence the term virtual airline, happy to change it to ticket broker or ticket agent but it is not an airline. MilborneOne (talk) 21:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Please note that I am not saying the company is doing anything wrong all the flights are flown legally by other operators. Similar operations are Palmair and Varsity Express. MilborneOne (talk) 21:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Good points.  They do call themselves an airline here  and like you say, they are trying mightily to give them impression they are an airline (talking about "our aircraft" etc).  But the lack of listing on the UK Transport website is compelling.  It may be they are heading in the direction of a standalone airline, but they are not there yet.
