But easyJet contributed to Friday delay claims minister
The Isle of Man has a shortage of air traffic controllers.
That's the admission from the infrastructure minister after criticism was levelled at Ronaldsway Airport over a flight delay.
Friday night's easyJet service to London Gatwick was delayed for an hour - the captain reportedly told passengers the plane was ready to depart but couldn't as air traffic control was closed.
However Tim Crookall claims the airline also contributed to the problem experienced:
Mr Crookall told John Moss issues relating to parking at the airport should be fixed within 4-6 weeks:
Meanwhile Loganair has apologised to passengers who were due to travel to Liverpool at the weekend.
The airline cancelled the 7am Saturday morning flight, from Ronaldsway Airport to the north-west, blaming a technical issue.
Customers were notified on the Friday and were given a full refund or offered the option to book another flight.
Loganair has also confirmed it's increasing flights to Liverpool next month citing customer demand.
It's putting on an addition flight each day, between Monday and Friday, from 23 May.
