When Did Govt Know About Flight Cuts?

Ministers are to be asked when they became aware of easyJet’s plans to reduce its number of flights to and from the island.

From April there will be reduced flights between Ronaldsway and Liverpool and Manchester.

Tim Glover will ask Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston he became aware of easyJet’s plans to cut services over the summer months and what talks are taking place.

His constituency colleague Jason Moorhouse will later ask Chief Minister Alf Cannan what discussions took place with easyJet prior to, and following, the release of their summer schedule?

Over the summer Liverpool flights will drop to four days a week for most weeks aside from TT, with this rising to five a day during the summer holidays.

Manchester will drop to five days a week for most of May and June, again aside from around TT, before dropping to four days in July and August. 

The London Gatwick route is not impacted.
