Low-cost airline Easyjet has launched a new service from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to the Isle of Man. The company will start the service, which will operate six times a week, on 21 May and said it expected up to 70,000 passengers to use the service in its first year of operation. It will use its new Airbus 319 aircraft, which seat 156 passengers. Commercial manager Trevor Spinks said: “As the UK's largest airline, it is a logical step to extend our services from Liverpool and connect the island with the North West where there are such strong business and family links.”
