This will be the first of many now that a second summer is dwindling away. Aviation has had zero financial help (apart from Furlough) yet remains one of the hardest hit industries. Airlines simply cannot afford to not operate.

Stobart Air are the operator for our 24 July MAN-DUB flight as part of our Aer Lingus MAN-DUB-MCO booking. Only got a schedule change earlier this week moving that leg forward 40 minutes but still mentioned Stobart as the operator.

Shame for the company and its staff.

Get on the direct from MAN instead, while you can.

The direct flights start around 5 days after our scheduled departure date though we are booked on the direct flights for the return leg. I’ll see what they offer us as there are 18 in our group so would need to accommodate us all but in reality I don’t expect flights to the USA to be operating by then anyway.

They mean the Aer Lingus MAN-MCO direct. I wouldn't ring AL today as customer service aren't great at the best of times and since the people on the phones will likely have found out about this a few hours ago they won't have a clue and will lie through their teeth as usual about what's cancelled and what isn't.
