Following the news that the Isle of Man will lose its direct Bristol service at the end of this month, Manx2.com is stepping in to ensure the Island maintains a key link with the South West of England.

For the winter, Manx2.com has added extra flights to Gloucester, with up to three flights now available on weekdays and fares from £49.95 one-way including taxes, with no credit card charges or booking fees to pay and a free allowance of up to 10kg for hand luggage.

Manx2.com Managing Director, David Buck, said: "As an Isle of Man company we recognise that  protecting access to and from the Isle of Man is crucial to the economy in these difficult times.

“Gloucester Airport, located close to the M5 motorway, provides passengers with a fast transit through the airport as well as convenient access to Gloucester, the West Country, Midlands and Bristol and, for Isle of Man-bound passengers offers free parking and a 20 minute check-in time."
