An MHK wants to know about challenges faced by the airport as the Island returned to work at the start of this year.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will be asking Infrastructure Minister Michelle Haywood about what Ronaldsway Airport and the Highways Division dealt with on Monday, January 5.

That's when the Island experienced widespread disruption caused by snow, with the runway and schools closed.

The House of Keys will sit at 10am on Tuesday, January 13 in Legislative Buildings in Douglas.
