MHK calling for tighter legislation on air safety

Tuesday, 11 February 2014 00:00

Should the Manx Government introduce new legislation to improve the air services operating to and from the Isle of Man?

Onchan MHK Peter Karran is raising the issue in today’s House of Keys sitting, asking if new policy changes will be brought in.

He says it’s important to learn from ‘past mistakes’ over the fatal Manx2.com plane crash at Cork Airport in 2011.

The final report into the tragedy was released by the Irish Air Accident Investigation Unit last month.

Mr Karran says more responsibility needs to be taken:
