MHK and former pilot welcomes new Loganair route
The reinstatement of the Heathrow route is a confident statement in the future of the Isle of Man.
That's the view of South Douglas MHK Paul Quine, just under week before flights to the London airport start up again.
They're being run by Scottish Loganair from 1 December.
Mr Quine, a former pilot, says while the full benefits won't necessarily be seen in the middle of a pandemic, it's very welcome news:
