Another increase in airport passengers

Fri, 13 Apr 2012

There's been another small increase in traffic at the Isle of Man Airport.

Passengers numbers rose by just over 3% in March compared with the same month last year.

Most of the extra 1664 passengers were gained through the north west routes such as Liverpool and Manchester.

Numbers fell on some of routes, including the Jersey and Guernsey service and Luton.

Ronaldsway has recorded a growth in passenger number in 11 out of the last 12 months.

But Airport bosses are concerned that the increase can't be sustained after Aer Arran announced it was ending its London City route, with no news yet on whether another carrier will be taking over.
