Friday, 27 January 2023 08:42

The closure of Ronaldsway Airport last summer due to a 'suspicious package' will be discussed in the House of Keys.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse is set to ask the Infrastructure Minister when the review into the incident will be published, and if he will make a statement.

The Airport was shut down on June 16 2022 due to an issue in the baggage checking area, which turned out to be caused by a security alert on a baggage scanning machine being activated.

Chris Thomas will respond when the house sits on Tuesday morning.
