Airport closed by Storm Barra after roof damage

Damage caused to roof

Ronaldsway Airport has become the latest casualty of Storm Barra.

The facility has been closed to the public until 6.15am tomorrow (Wednesday) - subject to an assessment at 5am.

A government spokesperson told Manx Radio all flights had been cancelled earlier today but some structural damage has since been caused to the roof of the terminal building. 

The road at the front of the terminal has been closed off and bus services are being diverted.

The plan to re-open the airport in the morning may need to be reviewed if there's further damage.
