Tonight’s easyJet flight from Gatwick returned to London less than 20 minutes after taking off.
The airline has blamed issues with Air Traffic Control at Ronaldsway.
As a result of the cancellation, the Isle of Man to Gatwick flight has also been cancelled.
Manx.News understands that delays at Gatwick have had to a knock on effect and Ronaldsway is unable to remain open beyond its normal hours this evening.
The airline told passengers: “We’re sorry that your flight has been delayed overnight.
This is due to air traffic control restrictions which delayed your flight outside of the opening hours of your arrival airport. Some airports have strict operating times which cannot be extended. As a result we had no option but to delay your flight overnight.”
easyJet says the flight is now due to leave Gatwick at 2:10pm tomorrow afternoon.
