Footpath around runway at Airport to close over two weekends

The footpath around the runway at Ronaldsway Airport will be closed over consecutive weekends later this month and next.

The closure (which will be in place between June 24-25 and July 1-2) is to enable the Coastguard to undertake rope training. 

It will be in place between 9am and 6pm each day and will affect the section of footpath from Café Bar 26 to the northern end of the rock armour near Turkeylands Quarry

The DOI says this type of training is required in order to have an up to date rescue plan for an incident on the rock armour.
