February was a disappointing month for the Isle of Mans Airport.

There was a fall in passenger numbers of 3.6% through Ronaldsway - almost 2,000 people less than the same time the year before.

Decreases in passengers numbers were more than forecast on some key routes including Manchester, London City, Birmingham and Dublin.

The London City route ran with significantly reduced capacity in February a reduction in passengers of over 1,400 travellers.

An Airport spokesperson says demand is taking longer than they expected to regenerate after problems in the Winter.
