Chief Minister says Sorry for Airport Disruption
Chief Minister Alfred Cannan has apologised after prolonged flight disruption at the airport.
Works are being carried out on the island’s landing system technology. Mr Cannan was responding to a question put to him in the House of Keys this morning about issues that caused delays and cancellations, specifically between March 10 and 13.
Recent weather has disrupted the work to update the airport’s instrument landing systems. Mr Moorhouse asked why work was done in March, to which Mr Cannan explained works were originally scheduled for November 2022 but there were strong winds.
He added: ‘March was the next best option when considering all the variables.’
Mr Cannan apologised, stating he was sorry that passengers had experienced delays and cancellations.
