Flybe staff who are set to lose their jobs next year have met with airline representatives and the Chief Minister.
50 staff face an uncertain future after the airline announced it would be closing its base at Ronaldsway in March next year.
More information on how the closure will affect staff is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
