Published Date: 13 March 2006
AIR fares have been cut following a decision to slash airport charges.
EuroManx is cutting the lowest fare for flights to London City and Belfast airports. It will review other fares and could make further cuts.

The announcement boosted the Department of Transport's hopes a new airport charging structure would lead to cheaper travel.

In a bid to ensure more cheap seats, the DoT is cutting charges at Ronaldsway Airport by up to 30 per cent.

It produced immediate results as EuroManx announced the same day that the lowest fares on at least two routes will be cut from April 1.

A single fare to London will fall from £53 to £49 and to Belfast from £49 to £45.

Other fares on the routes will be reviewed on March 20.
Sales and marketing manager Seamus Byrne said: 'We feel it is now our duty to follow the precedent set by the DoT and reduce our fares.'

Today's Vote

Civil servants are to get a lump sum payment of £200 after a union successfully took this year's pay freeze to arbitration. But government claims it could cause job losses. Is it the right decision?
Yes. It is only fair and the £450,000 cost is not that significant.
No. There are plenty of other things that money could go to and what about those with pay freezes in the private sector.
Don't know. It's only fair if you're not one of those who loses their job as a result.
