Newcastle flights suspended by Citywing

Flights between the Isle of Man and Newcastle have been cancelled until further notice.

It's because Citywing can't find an 'appropriate aircraft' to operate its service. 

The company has faced difficulties since the Civil Aviation Authority suspended Van Air's licence in February. 

It was after an incident with a Belfast bound Citywing plane at Ronaldsway during Storm Doris on February 23rd. 

Since then Citywing has been reliant on temporary aircraft, hired from other companies, to service its routes. 

Fight plans up to the end of the winter schedule, on March 25th, have now been confirmed - Citywing says it's working hard to find aircraft for the summer schedule.
