The Enterprise Minister says it's essential to find a new airline to cover flights after easyJet reduced its summer schedule.
In Tynwald this week, Tim Johnston MHK was asked for a statement about easyJet's service cuts by Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Tim Glover.
Mr Johnston said there were ongoing conversations between his department, the airport and airlines.
He said finding an alternative airline was very important:
