Air link concerns go to Tynwald

Infrastructure Minister David Cretney will face questions about the state of the Island’s air links when Tynwald sits next week.

North Douglas MHK Bill Henderson will ask the minister to make a statement about routes to London in particular.

It follows a week of debate after easyJet said it would offer extra weekday flights to Gatwick next year, although not at times that would allow business people to arrange day trips for meetings.

Mr Henderson says our flights to London are invaluable and he wants reassuring they’re not harming the economy.
