Citywing has today announced the return of daily flights between the Isle of Man and Blackpool.

It follows the sudden closure of Blackpool airport last October. CityWing says it has been working tirelessly to bring commercial flights back.

Managing director David Buck said: 'We are so pleased by this positive conclusion to our negotiations with Blackpool and that it will be open once again for flights to the Isle of Man and Belfast from 1st April. We have remained committed to seeing this historic and
vital air link to Blackpool reopen, and we are hugely satisfied to once again be able to offer this route to our customers.'
