Service to be privatised
The decision to privatise the baggage handling service at Ronaldsway airport has been described by the Infrastructure Minister as sad but inevitable.
Ray Harmer claims around £1million will be saved as a direct result of the move.
More than 20 staff will be redeployed within the department or face redundancy.
Mr Harmer says opportunities will be made available for the workers affected:
Person dies following road traffic collision at Hillberry
Police provide update after incident closed roads in the area
Contractors to start installing 20mph signs in Douglas and Onchan
Infrastructure Minister confirms work will start next week
