But Thomas says work is needed to build confidence
Work must be done to rebuild public confidence in air travel to and from the Isle of Man.
That’s the view of the infrastructure minister who’s signalled that government is due to make an announcement on its approach to air routes.
It follows the collapse of Flybe this weekend.
The airline wasn’t currently serving the Island after pulling out of new routes between Ronaldsway, London and Belfast, at the last minute, in October.
