Travel? Not on Kathleen’s watch

Storm Kathleen has stopped most air and all sea travel today (April 6). Truth be told, I can’t blame anyone; it is savage out there!

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company has cancelled all of today’s sailings, and the first decision will be made about tomorrow morning’s sailing at 5:45am. 

Sailing tomorrow? Here is when you’ll know:

  • 7:15am Douglas to Liverpool – decision by 5:45am
  • 11:15 Liverpool to Douglas – decision by 5:45am
  • 08:45 Douglas to Heysham – decision by 6:45am
  • 2:15pm Heysham to Douglas – decision by 6:45am
  • 3pm Douglas to Liverpool – decision by 1pm
  • 7:15pm Liverpool to Douglas – decision by 1pm
  • 8pm Douglas to Heysham – decision by 5pm
  • 2:15am (April 8) Heysham to Douglas – decision by 5pm

Travel by air

At present, all flights except two have been cancelled to and from Ronaldsway Airport. 

The departure board is still showing the Loganair Manchester flight at 5:30pm as ‘on time’; good luck if you’re on that.

The arrivals board is showing that the incoming flight from Bergamo has landed! Success! Although, the rest are cancelled.

Fingers crossed for better weather tomorrow!
