Airport passenger figures took an unexpected fall last month, with over 1,800 fewer people using Ronaldsway than in February 2010.
The Department of Infrastructure says the 3.6 per cent reduction reflected a cautious approach by airlines to restoring capacity on some routes during the winter months.
Airport director Ann Reynolds says the fall in passenger numbers was understandable, but disappointing.
