Former Manx Airlines boss shares thoughts on staffing issues
Government should consider supporting trainee air traffic controllers through UK based courses in a similar way it does for university students.
That's the view of former Manx Airlines boss Terry Liddiard.
He’s made the comments in response to ongoing problems with recruiting staff at the Isle of Man Airport.
Mr Liddiard told Manx Radio attracting qualified air traffic controllers will continue to be difficult as is the case with doctors and nurses.
Therefore, he says, government must look at new ways of securing sufficient numbers for the future:
More than 500 Isle of Man Energy customers overcharged for VAT
Police working with schools to teach children about the dangers of social media
Drivers turning in Douglas Fire Station forecourt leads to 'near misses'
Isle of Man Government ‘closely monitoring’ impact of US trade tariffs
