The decline in air travel due to the Covid-19 pandemic has led the airline to ground the majority of its fleet of aircraft from Tuesday onwards.

All flights from Liverpool, Belfast, Gatwick and Bristol to the Island have been cancelled until further notice.

“These are unprecedented times for the airline industry,” said easyJet CEO Johan Lundgren.

“We know how important it is for customers to get home and so are continuing to operate rescue flights over the coming days to repatriate them.”

“Significantly reducing our flying programme is the right thing to do when many countries have issued advice to their citizens not to travel unless it is essential and the aircraft groundings will also remove significant levels of variable costs at a time when this remains crucial.”

Aer Lingus Regional flights to Dublin from the Isle of Man will also finish tomorrow.

A spokesperson for Isle of Man Government told Energy FM News: "Whilst the Government is confident that flights operated by Loganair will continue, it is possible that some airports in the UK may close which could cause some disruption to schedules."
