Passenger figures at the airport were up again slightly last month.
Compared with March 2011 1,664 more passengers passed through Ronaldsway, an increase of 3%.
Airport Director Ann Reynolds says the steady improvement is encouraging.
She adds that Aer Arann dropping the London City route is a blow though, and is bound to affect the ability to sustain growth over the coming months.
