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:
Farmers in race against time after freight backlog in Heysham
Concern for crops and animals after delays to feed and fertiliser deliveries
Further changes to sailing schedule due to tidal restrictions
Manxman crossings affected over next three days
Census 'still one of the most valuable statistical tools' for government
Cabinet Office minister says technical can't count the population as well as the survey
'Immigration is needed' for economic growth on Island
MLC says a shortage of workers is creating challenges for Manx businesses
