Teams work to clear Ronaldsway of snow

Airport closed due to large amount of snowfall overnight

It's hoped efforts to clear the runways of snow and ice this afternoon (5 January) will have put Ronaldsway in the best position to reopen tomorrow morning.

A 'large amount of snow' fell on the aerodrome overnight, leading to the airport closing today.

A further review will be undertaken tomorrow morning as to whether Tuesday's flights can go ahead as scheduled. 

Interim Airport Director Geoff Pugh has been speaking to Manx Radio:

There has been widespread travel disruption on-Island and off-Island today due to the snow and ice.
