Liverpool freight service to resume

A scheduled daily air cargo service is to operate between the Isle of Man and Liverpool for the first time in two years.

From Monday, Janes Aviation will run morning flights from Merseyside to Ronaldsway, with an evening service in the opposite direction.

The route was last operated in 2006, and its loss saw a considerable reduction in air cargo tonnage passing through Ronaldsway.

Figures show a fall from 2,300 tonnes in 2005 to 550 tonnes last year.

Airport director Ann Reynolds says she is 'delighted' about the reinstatement of the route.
