**Isle of Man Airport** ([Manx](/source/Manx_language): *Purt Aer Vannin*, also known as **Ronaldsway Airport**) ([IATA](/source/IATA_airport_code): **IOM**, [ICAO](/source/ICAO_airport_code): **EGNS**) is the main civilian [airport](/source/Airport) on the [Isle of Man](/source/Isle_of_Man). It is located in the south of the island at [Ronaldsway](/source/Ronaldsway) near [Castletown](/source/Castletown%2C_Isle_of_Man), 6 [nautical miles](/source/Nautical_mile) (11 km; 6.9 mi) southwest of [Douglas](/source/Douglas%2C_Isle_of_Man),[2] the island's capital. Along with the [Isle of Man Sea Terminal](/source/Isle_of_Man_Sea_Terminal), it is one of the two main gateways to the island. The airport has scheduled services to the [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom) and [Ireland](/source/Republic_of_Ireland).

## History

### Early years

Ronaldsway was first used as an airfield in 1928[3] with passenger services to the UK starting in 1933, operated by [Blackpool and West Coast Air Services](/source/Blackpool_and_West_Coast_Air_Services) (later West Coast Air Services). Further services were established by [Aer Lingus](/source/Aer_Lingus) and [Railway Air Services](/source/Railway_Air_Services) (RAS) from 1934. From 1937 RAS operations from Ronaldsway to the UK were transferred to [Isle of Man Air Services](/source/Isle_of_Man_Air_Services). In a 1936 expansion of the Ronaldsway Airport, workers discovered a mass grave believed to hold the remains of soldiers who died during the [Battle of Ronaldsway](/source/Battle_of_Ronaldsway) in 1275.

### Second World War

#### RAF Ronaldsway

The airfield came under [Royal Air Force](/source/Royal_Air_Force) control at the outbreak of the [Second World War](/source/Second_World_War). Known as RAF Ronaldsway, it was one of the few airfields that continued operating civilian flights throughout the wartime period.

The airfield was used by № 1 GDGS (Ground Defence and Gunnery School) operating [Westland Wallace](/source/Westland_Wallace) aircraft, the [drogues](/source/Drogue) from these aircraft being fired on from gun emplacements on [St Michael's Isle](/source/St_Michael's_Isle) (Fort Island) and [Santon](/source/Santon%2C_Isle_of_Man) Head. An expansion of the airport during the War led to the discovery of the archaeological remains of a [Neolithic](/source/Neolithic) settlement belonging to what is now called the [Ronaldsway culture](/source/Ronaldsway_culture), in honour of this site.

RAF operations continued until 1943 when the airfield was handed over to the [Admiralty](/source/British_Admiralty) for further development as a [Fleet Air Arm](/source/Fleet_Air_Arm) training station.

#### HMS *Urley*

Now a [naval air station](/source/Naval_air_station), Royal Naval Air Station Ronaldsway (RNAS Ronaldsway), the airport was taken out of commission in 1943 for almost twelve months of extensive development undertaken by [John Laing & Son](/source/John_Laing_Group).[4] By the summer of 1944 the airfield had evolved from a grass landing area with a few hangars to a four runway airfield with the infrastructure to house and operate three training squadrons operating with [Fairey Barracuda](/source/Fairey_Barracuda) [torpedo bombers](/source/Torpedo_bomber).

Commissioned as HMS *Urley* ([Manx](/source/Manx_language) for Eagle) by the [Royal Navy](/source/Royal_Navy) on 21 June 1944, with accounts handled by [HMS *Valkyrie*](/source/HMS_Valkyrie_(shore_establishment)), flying recommenced on 15 July 1944.[5] The airfield's main role was that of a torpedo working-up station. No. 1 OTU consisted of [710](/source/710_Naval_Air_Squadron), [713](/source/713_Naval_Air_Squadron) and [747 Naval Air Squadrons](/source/747_Naval_Air_Squadron) and these operated until the cessation of hostilities in 1945. The base was '[paid off](/source/Ship_commissioning#Decommissioning)' on 14 January 1946, and transferred to Care and Maintenance under [HMS *Blackcap*](/source/RNAS_Stretton).[5] The nominal [depot ship](/source/Depot_ship) from 21 June 1944 was a 32' cutter named *XXII*, which itself was constructed in 1937.[5]

#### Post-war

The airport reverted to solely civilian flying almost immediately after the war, but the airfield remained in [Admiralty](/source/Admiralty_(United_Kingdom)) possession until sold to the [Isle of Man Government](/source/Isle_of_Man_Government) for £200,000 in 1948, far short of the £1 million that the [UK Government](/source/Her_Majesty's_Government) had spent on constructing the airport buildings and runways, plus the £105,000 that was paid by the Admiralty in 1943 to purchase the site. Several Manx-based airlines were formed in the early postwar years to operate scheduled and charter services to the UK mainland.

### Development since the 2000s

A project by Ellis Brown Architects began in November 1998 to extend the airport and improve the facilities available to passengers. In March 2000 the new extension was opened, providing a new landside catering outlet, arrivals area, baggage hall, and departure lounge. The existing part of the airport was refurbished during this time to provide improved [check-in](/source/Check-in) facilities and offices, linked to the extension with a new airport entrance. During the extension and renovation period, the iconic [Three Legs of Man](/source/The_Isle_of_Man#Symbols) sculpture adorning the airport's façade was also refurbished. In March 2006 funding for a further extension was granted by [Tynwald](/source/Tynwald) to increase the number of departure [gates](/source/Gate_(airport)), with work due for completion in summer 2007.

In April 2008 Tynwald granted a major runway extension and resurfacing project at the airport. The runway was extended by 245 m (804 ft) out into the [Irish Sea](/source/Irish_Sea) by the construction of a rock-armoured [promontory](/source/Promontory).[6] The development also included resurfacing of the runway and was completed in 2011. It has emerged that the actual runway take-off length was underestimated by 160 metres in the £1.5 million feasibility study. Whilst the study originally looked into the aviation marketing implication of runway length, airport management denied that the extension was for the use of heavier aircraft, stating that the resurfacing and extension were to comply with international safety standards.[7]

There was a significant overspend on the project due to poor foreign exchange management of the Euro-denominated components of the costs. It is thought that the Manx Treasury Minister may have been referring to the expense of the runway and the additional £6,515,000 control tower project[8] when he stated in his 2009 Budget speech that the Isle of Man could no longer afford "Rolls-Royce" projects. Following the completion of the runway extension project the largest aircraft that can operate fully at Ronaldsway is the [Boeing 757](/source/Boeing_757).

In September 2019, [Flybe](/source/Flybe_(1979-2020)) announced it would shut down its base operations at the airport by Spring 2020.[9]

## Terminal

The Isle of Man airport has one terminal with 5 gates, all of which are hardstands. Airside, there is a lounge operated by [Menzies Aviation](/source/Menzies_Aviation) that can be accessed by passengers for a fee. There is also a duty free, a bar and a [Costa Coffee](/source/Costa_Coffee) café.

## Airlines and destinations

The following airlines operate regular scheduled flights to and from the Isle of Man:[10]

## Airport emergency services

### Fire and rescue service

In common with most international airports, the Isle of Man Airport maintains its own fire service. This service cooperates closely with the [Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service](/source/Isle_of_Man_Fire_and_Rescue_Service), although it is independent, with its own management and chief officer. For joint operational purposes, and for the assigning of radio call signs to appliances, the airport fire station is known as "station 9", in a common series with the IoM Fire & Rescue Service, whose seven fire stations are numbered from "station 1" to "station 7" inclusive. The airport fire station is a large five-bay purpose-built structure with duty rooms and offices. The service operates a fleet including two Carmichael Cobra 2 major foam tenders, a third (smaller) major foam tender, a standard duty pump (principally for building fires), and a 4x4 Land Rover. A further major appliance (Iturri Torro) is on order.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

### Police and security service

Main article: [Isle of Man Airport Police](/source/Isle_of_Man_Airport_Police)

The [Isle of Man Airport Police](/source/Isle_of_Man_Airport_Police) was a small independent police service providing security and policing at the airport site, with warranted constables, known as "aviation security officers" (ASO). Under Manx law ASOs had full police powers, including the power of arrest, whilst on airport property. For major crimes the airport police was supported by the [Isle of Man Constabulary](/source/Isle_of_Man_Constabulary). The airport police were disbanded at the end of September 2019, with the responsibility for airfield security passing to a private contractor.

## Accidents and incidents

- On 26 January 1935, [Hillman's Airways](/source/Hillman's_Airways) [de Havilland Dragon Rapide](/source/De_Havilland_Dragon_Rapide) G-ACPO, operating a mail flight from [Aldergrove Airport](/source/Aldergrove_Airport), [Belfast](/source/Belfast) to [Stapleford Aerodrome](/source/Stapleford_Aerodrome), [Abridge](/source/Abridge), Essex via [Speke Airport](/source/Speke_Airport), [Liverpool](/source/Liverpool), Merseyside crashed at [Derbyhaven](/source/Derbyhaven), [Isle of Man](/source/Isle_of_Man), whilst attempting to divert to Ronaldsway during bad weather.[29]

- On 23 March 1936, [United Airways](/source/United_Airways_Limited) [Spartan Cruiser](/source/Spartan_Cruiser) G-ADEL crashed at Ronaldsway. The aircraft was operating a mail flight from [Hall Caine Airport](/source/Hall_Caine_Airport), [Ramsey](/source/Ramsey%2C_Isle_of_Man). The aircraft was dismantled and departed the island on board [SS *Conister*](/source/SS_Conister) of the [Isle of Man Steam Packet Company](/source/Isle_of_Man_Steam_Packet_Company). It was repaired by its manufacturers and returned to service.[30]

- On 9 May 1938, [de Havilland Express](/source/De_Havilland_Express) G-AENR of [Isle of Man Air Services](/source/Isle_of_Man_Air_Services) crashed on landing at Ronaldsway Airport. The aircraft was operating a mail flight from [Speke Airport](/source/Speke_Airport), [Liverpool](/source/Liverpool), Merseyside. Despite substantial damage to the port lower wing and both port engines, the aircraft was repaired and returned to service.[31]

- On 14 September 1938, de Havilland Express G-ADVK of Isle of Man Air Services lost the starboard inner propeller in flight whilst operating a flight from Speke to Ronaldsway. The propeller embedded itself in the fuselage of the aircraft. A successful landing was made at Ronaldsway.[32]

- On 22 June 2023, a [West Atlantic UK](/source/West_Atlantic_UK) Boeing 737-300, G-JMCL, operating a cargo flight from Isle of Man Airport to [East Midlands Airport](/source/East_Midlands_Airport) suffered from a hydraulic failure resulting in the loss of nosewheel steering and degraded braking. The aircraft returned to Ronaldsway and made a successful landing. On landing, significant quantities of hydraulic fluid were spilt, disabling the aircraft on the runway and forcing the overnight closure of the airport and the cancellation of some flights the next morning.[33]
