High level of training requirements to blame
The Isle of Man Airport has repeatedly made headlines recently due to persistent Air Traffic Control staffing issues.
This week, Manx Radio was granted exclusive access to the Air Traffic Control tower at Ronaldsway to find out more about the job, and why these incidents may occur.
Head of Air Traffic Services, Geoff Pugh, says when there is a shortage of ATCs at any given time, the fix is not as simple as drafting in controllers from other areas, due to strict rules around training:
Rider died after crashing into garden wall
Cannan: 'I will be proposing referendum on assisted dying'
Health Minister refused to be drawn into legalities of Roundhouse access issues
Man given suspended sentence for stealing £660 worth of Nike clothing
Police appeal for information after fire extinguisher incident
MHK brands public sector overpayments "breathtakingly incompetent"
