Flight disruption due to 'challenging weather conditions'

Visibility issues impact Ronaldsway Airport

Ronaldsway Airport has issued a warning to passengers hoping to fly on and off the Island today (Sunday 17 March).

Officials there say due to forecast 'challenging weather conditions' operations may be affected this morning and afternoon. 

A 'moist south-southwest airflow' is expected to cause visibility issues, leading to flight disruptions. 

They added that 'safety will always be top priority'.

Currently (9:10am) two flights are showing as delayed on the airport website - this morning's EasyJet flight to Liverpool and the Loganair flight to Manchester.

The Liverpool service was due to leave at 8:10am but is currently scheduled to leave at 6:10pm, as the service into the Island has also been affected.

Passengers are advised to stay updated direct through their airline.
