Resident launches petition after 'horrible experience' travelling

A local resident has launched a petition after having a 'horrible experience' when travelling back to the Island.

Barry Murphy is calling for the government to ensure Isle of Man residents are treated in a 'decent and humane manner' when cancellations and delays occur. 

It comes after he experienced issues with his flight from Gatwick on May 8, which turned back due to fog.

Mr Murphy describes being 'abandoned' by staff, being left to sort out accommodation until he could get a flight back to the Island five days later.

So far over 400 people have signed the petition, which can be found here.
