Isle of Man Airport is shut until further notice

Due to ice on site

The Isle of Man Airport will remain closed until further notice.

It's due to the weather conditions the Island is currently experiencing.

On social media, Ronaldsway says showers overnight turning to ice have prompted the closure.

It is expected to take a number of hours to clear all areas enough to make the airport safe. 

At the moment, two flights to Liverpool and one coming from the city have been affected.

Passengers are being encouraged to check the airport's website for further information.

An amber weather warning for ice is currently in place across the Island.

Speaking live on Manx Radio Breakfast this morning, Infrastructure Minister Chris Thomas explains why the runway had to close, and what's being done to get it open again:
