Ports director Ann Reynolds says she hopes to have new air links to Scotland early next year.
In July, the last routes to Scotland were dropped by Flybe’s partner Loganair which scrapped flights to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
During a visit to the Island later that month, Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond vowed to restore an air link before the Commonwealth Games next year.
Speaking on Manx Radio today, Ms Reynolds says she’s hopeful a company will start operations before then:
