EuroManx was aManxairline based atRonaldsway Airport, which operated scheduled domestic passenger services as well as business charters.[1] On 9 May 2008 the airline announced that it was ceasing all operations, citing rising fuel prices and reduced passenger numbers as the reasons.[2]

The airline was established on 7 August 2002 and started operations on 19 August 2002. It is no relation toManx Airlines which operated for many years prior to purchase byBritish Airways. It was established by Allan Keen, managing director of Isle of Man-based Woodgate Aviation. Corporate Jet Services and UK investors acquired EuroManx fully in September 2004.[1] EuroManx initially operated with leased equipment includingBeechcraft 1900 andATR 42 aircraft fromRossair Europe and subsequentlyFokker 50s fromDenim Air. EuroManx introduced its own aircraft leased from various operators during 2005 with twoAvro RJ70, twoDornier 328s, aBombardier Dash 8 Q200 and aBombardier Dash 8 Q300 aircraft.[citation needed] In June 2005, EuroManx successfully bought the passenger service ofEmerald Airways, another low-cost carrier operating services fromLiverpool. These services were operated using an ATR leased fromAer Arann. Competition fromManx2 on the Belfast route increased with Manx2 launching a 10 daily service. In October 2005, prior to the arrival of Manx2, EuroManx restructured its operation, shutting down all its scheduled international services exceptDublin, and eliminating domestic services toBristol,Southampton,Glasgow andLondon Stansted airports. Its RJ70 fleet was announced as retired, however both airframes continued flying until withdrawal in February 2006. At that time, EuroManx restructured again and withdrew from the Dublin route. The Dornier 328 was also withdrawn and operations continued with the remaining two Dash 8 aircraft.[citation needed] Euromanx ceased all operations on 9 May 2008.
