Latest CAA figures issued

The Isle of Man had, on average, the fewest flight cancellations of any of the Crown Dependencies during August

Figures revealed by the Civil Aviation Authority show 1.4 percent of air traffic failed to fly from Ronaldsway.

Of the 826 scheduled flights due to depart during August, 12 were cancelled.

During the same period almost two percent of services out of Jersey failed to take off.

Figures for Guernsey and Alderney are even worse with both airports recording around 4.5 cancellations.

When compared with destinations the Island serves the picture is not so good.

Around 0.5 percent of all flights out of Liverpool and Manchester were cancelled with Belfast international (0.2 percent), Birmingham (0.2 percent), Bristol (0.4 percent), and Edinburgh (0.8 percent) also recording less than one percent.

The Island's total of 1.4 percent is comparable with Gatwick which had 1.3 percent while Heathrow fared slightly worse at 1.6 percent with Belfast City recording 1.7 percent.
