Ronaldsway will not open today, with all flights to and from the island cancelled.
Despite the best efforts of ground staff, airport chief say there is “little prospect of improvement”.
A statement said: “Snow remains across the runway, taxiways and apron, with icy conditions underneath. Temperatures are not expected to rise enough to allow effective melting, meaning the runway remains unsuitable for aircraft operations.
“While mechanical snow clearance has taken place on parts of the apron, clearing the runway would create snow banks that could lead to further operational issues.
“As a result, no flights will operate today. Terminal facilities are limited, and security is now closed to additional passengers.”
