Drone Sighting Closes Airport

Ronaldsway Airport Air Traffic Control Tower

Ronaldsway was briefly closed this afternoon after a pilot reported seeing a drone nearby.

The Police have been called to the area to search for the drone.

The closure is only expected to last for a brief time and will not impact on scheduled flights.

It is illegal to fly a drone within three nautical miles of the airport without prior permission from aviation authorities.

The airfield has since re-opened
