Ongoing flight disruption at Airport

It's bad news for people trying to get both on and off the Island as flight disruption continues.

It comes as a number of trips have been delayed or cancelled this week.

We've seen cancellations and delays to the likes of London Gatwick, Belfast, Manchester, Dublin and Liverpool.

Earlier this week, Ronaldsway announced its having to close its runway five times a day, to meet 'required' rest periods for air traffic controllers, amid staff shortages. 

According to the DOI - the Airport requires a minimum of 16 fully qualified air traffic controllers (ATCOs), and currently has just 10.

Looking at today, Ronaldsway says flights are likely to be disrupted this afternoon due to 'thunderstorms in the south of the UK.'
