Former Manx Airlines boss says 'now is the time'
The chief minister is against the idea of a national airline.
It follows comments by the former Manx Airlines boss, Terry Liddiard, who has said he'd support the idea of a state-owned service in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Island hasn't had its own airline since 2002.
Howard Quayle was asked at today's government media briefing, whether he agreed with Mr Liddiard:
