Flights to Blackpool could return to the departures board at Ronaldsway Airport, according to the leader of Blackpool Council.
Councillor Lynn Williams says talks are ongoing with authorities here to reinstate the route.
Blackpool Council reacquired Blackpool Airport in September 2017 from Balfour Beatty.
In March that year, the last flights between the Island and Blackpool stopped when operator Citywing went into liquidation.
